In Highland Park, visit a garden club member’s home overlooking Lake Michigan that was designed in 1926 by architect Robert E. Seyfarth and landscaped by Prairie style master Jens Jensen, a landscape architect’s colonial home with lush garden borders nestled against a New England-inspired fence and a ravine waterfall, and a 1905 Prairie style house highlighted by a large porch patio overlooking the front garden and a backyard with multiple seating areas designed with entertaining in mind. In Lake Forest, visit a Mediterranean style house and garden designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw in 1909 featuring a restoration
of a sunken garden by Rose Standish Nichols, and Craig Bergmann’s garden at a historic David Adler gate-house that includes formal borders, a shade garden, orchard, motor court and a new swimming pool garden.     

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 on the day of the walk. They will be sold on the patio at the Deerpath Inn in Lake Forest.
