THE MORTON ARBORETUM GERARD T. DONNELLY GRAND GARDEN

LOCATION: Lisle, IL
DATE COMPLETED: 2022
CLIENT: The Morton Arboretum

As part of The Morton Arboretum’s centennial celebration, HDLA and Tres Fromme of 3 Fromme Design collaborated to design the Gerard T. Donnelly Grand Garden, a new 2-acre accessible Garden that will serve as a central attraction for gathering and enjoyment during the Arboretum’s second century and commemorates one hundred years of planting and protecting trees for a greener, healthier, and more beautiful world. The garden reimagines the historic Hedge Garden, created in 1934, and honors the past view and layout of the earlier garden in a transformed setting. This splendid new addition to the Arboretum showcases the beauty and diversity of plants alongside delightful water features and spaces for celebration and joy in three main spaces: the Joy of Plants Garden, Centennial Plaza, and the Celebration Garden.
