A Preview
"The Women's Garden. Planted beds, low walls, a place laid out to be sat in rather than walked through. The Foundation describes it as a living memorial to the power of civic participation. All of that is new. And there is something you should know about the ground it's on. There was already a Women's Garden in Jackson Park."
