The garden contains honey locust trees, cockspur hawthorn trees, low lying shrubs and bushes, and season interest bulbs and plantings. A sculpture 'Fountain of the Great Lakes' or 'Ladies of the Lakes' designed by Master Sculptor Lorado Taft 1860-1936 was dedicated in 1913. Taft was a devoted artist and created many interesting sculptures in his lifetime. Research wikipedia for an extensive list of sculptural images.

(July 20, 2017, 12:52 pm)The Fountain of the Great Lakes is beautiful and worth stopping for! It can be easily missed as it is tucked away in the South Garden of the Art Institute.
