The Crescent 210 of 365 (Year 7)
Bold planting ideas are front and center in the Chicago Botanic Garden's Crescent annual beds, while hundreds of evergreen boxwood give shape to their curves. The evergreens create a mass of green "steps" flanking the eight concentric tiers, which increase in size as they slope gently down to the water's edge. Brick walkways lace through the beds, encouraging visitors to step close to the plants.
