Sears Sunken Garden Project Episode
The Friends of Sears Sunken Garden (FSSG) is dedicated to the restoration of the historic Sears Sunken Garden located on the former campus of Sears, Roebuck & Co. The Sears headquarters was completed in 1907 on the west side of Chicago in what is now known as the community of North Lawndale.
The design team selected for the restoration includes world-renowned garden designer Piet Oudolf, and plantsman and designer Roy Diblik. Oudolf is well known as the planting designer for the Lurie Garden in Chicago’s Millennium Park and the High Line in New York City.
The restoration of the Sears Sunken Garden will not only serve as a beautiful amenity for Chicago residents and visitors alike, but signals to the world that North Lawndale is a place of beauty, energy and possibility.
We recently gathered at Northwind to share details about the project and raise funds. Please watch and donate if able!
