Hey everybody--mark your calenders for the August meeting--it will be Tues. Aug 3. Ben Futa will be home then and he is going to come and talk to us about the wonderful, amazing, and world famous Lurie Gardens in Chicago. Ben did his summer internship with them last year, and it has carved a space out in his heart that will remain there always. He is going to give us an overview of the History of the garden, explain the symbolism and structure of the garden and introduce us to some of the people who conceived the design and made it happen. Its my hope that in the future we can all climb aboard the South Shore, which conveniently stops right at the garden, and take a guided tour so we can see everything Ben tells us about in real life. And if all the stars align right, our Tour Guide (Ben) can take us to the Art Institute to see the beautiful plantings that inhabit it as well.
Sounds like a whole lot of learning and a ton of fun in our future!
