A grant from the Tiffany & Co. Foundation to the city transformed Grant Park’s south rose garden into a formal garden and premier event space adjacent to Buckingham Fountain, Chicago’s second most-visited attraction. The garden’s fluid, ceremonial promenade is bordered by serpentine garden beds that burst with nearly 7,000 blooming annuals and perennials, shaped evergreens, ornamental trees, cascading vines and flowering shrubs. The garden opens into three intimate garden ‘rooms’ at the center, south, and north ends of the space, comfortably accommodating up to 150 guests for ceremonies and receptions.
