Humboldt Park’s historic Formal Garden needs restoration. Renowned landscape architect Jens Jensen (1860 - 1951) designed the garden and its surrounding landscape in 1908. Today, Jensen is recognized as one of the nation’s most significant landscape designers and Humboldt Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The circular garden is still a beautiful and special place, but it needs attention. Its concrete walls and pergolas are cracking and the wood is rotting. Some beds have been sodded over, and only minimal floral annuals remain. The Chicago Parks Foundation (CPF) and Chicago Park District are joining with members of the community to restore the beautiful and iconic garden for the community, and all of Chicago, to once again enjoy.
