Abstract
- The article focuses on the landscape architectural projects at the Chicago Botanical Gardens (CBG) in Illinois that showcase new possibilities for ponds and shorelines in American gardens. The landscape of Evening Island was designed by Oehme, van Sweden & Associates (OvS), while Spider Island was designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates. Evening Island has scaled-down mountains, meadows and forests. It notes that the CBG site is ideal for interpreting wetlands lost to agriculture and development.
