This wall isn’t a prominent feature at the Chicago Botanic Garden. If I recall correctly, it’s situated near the bathrooms. But it deserves a more exalted location! I love how the planted side mimics the brick portion, with its protruding lines. Understated and classy, don’t you think?

I have long admired this spot at "my" garden. I am glad to see it get the recognition it deserves!!
terrific. makes me think about ".....and which do you prefer?" particularly when you extrapolate and think about parking garages, city parks, etc.
best,

This summer I visited the English garden at the Chicago Botanical Garden. loved the several garden areas in one garden. feelings changed as I moved around, depending on what I saw and heard, like water. Loved it.
I, too, love this wall.
