Grandmother's Garden, Chicago, Guide du visiteur et quoi faire à proximité

Grandmother's Garden is a planted garden in Lincoln Park, Chicago, found beside Stockton Drive at Webster Avenue. It is a calm green stop on the edge of one of the city's busiest parks, and an easy place to slow down on a walk along the lakefront side of the neighbourhood.

Tips for your visit

• Plan on 15 to 30 minutes here, longer if you like to look closely at the planting or take photographs.
• Late spring through early autumn is usually the best time to see a garden at its fullest, and daytime light is kind to photos.
• It sits inside Lincoln Park, so it combines easily with a longer stroll through the park; check current notices for any seasonal closures or works.
• Wear comfortable shoes, since the best way to reach it is on foot along the park paths and drives.
