Title	Lurie Garden
Creator.Persons	Oudolf, Piet Israel, Robert
Creator.Entities	Gustafson Guthrie Nichol
Notes	Built 2004. Description: This 2.5-acre garden pays homage to the City's motto, Urbs in Horto (City in a Garden), which refers to Chicago's transformation from its flat and marshy origins to a bold and powerful city. Highlights of the garden include the dramatically lit, 15-foot-high shoulder hedge. This physical representation of Sandburg's famous description of the City of Big Shoulders encloses the garden on two sides and protects the delicate perennial garden. A graceful hardwood footbridge over shallow water divides the garden diagonally between light and dark plates. Size: 2.5 acres
