It seems like a world away now, but just a few short weeks ago I was basking in the sun at a luncheon for the opening of the Tiffany & Co. Celebration Garden in Grant Park. With a $1.25 million gift from Tiffany, the local nonprofit Parkways Foundation hired Hoerr Schaudt Landscape Architects to renovate Grant Park’s south rose garden. With stunning views of Buckingham Fountain and the skyline, this two-thirds of an acre site is available for private events.
