Chicago, Illinois, is home to nearly 75 acres of gardens in its city parks. This year, Grant Park will feature a 1960s-themed garden reflecting the works of abstract expression artist Mark Rothko and pop artist Peter Max.
The Chicago Park District and Moore Landscapes began planning for Chicago’s 2008 park designs last fall. Over 143,000 tulips and pansies are planted each spring in parks along Chicago’s Michigan Avenue and Lake Shore Drive.
