The Lurie Garden in Millennium Park is an urban oasis emerging from a harmonious blend of symbolism, landscape design and ecological sensitivity.
Our plant, animal, and insect life are managed using a combination of traditional gardening knowledge and forward-thinking ecological concepts. We use management practices rooted in natural-areas ecology, specifically the strategy of adaptive co-management. Use of synthetic chemicals or similar substances within the garden to manage weeds, pest insects or diseases does not occur.
