" Our Nipponese Tea Garden has once again ( 4th ) year enter in the North Dearborn Association ( NDA ) 57th annual garden walkway in Chicago on Sunday , July 19 , 2015 . The garden was transformed for the benefit of hundreds of garden lovers viewing various gardens participating in the NDA garden walk . The motif was Love In Bloom , a Garden Wedding . Our garden was lucky enough to be choose for a sketch display , decorated for this year ’s theme by 2 fantastic volunteer Chicago field graphic designer .

The tale behind the sketch is a Hollywood beloved tale , Bogart and Bacall . plant : Lauren Bacall ’s private Bridal Dressing Suite . The wooden bathing tub was fill with 9 dozen float roses for that quixotic touch . A substantial change to our Nipponese garden since our last visit … the very marvelous evergreen succumbed to the harsh winter weather and was replaced 2 year ago with a lovely Katsura . Our much loved rain chain water feature is near the brick wall to the side of the Katsura , joined by a climbing hydrangea flower for the 2d twelvemonth . We added a gorgeous orangish honeysuckle over the small bamboo wall topped by small beds containing white petunia , english English ivy and fountain grass . Best , Susan and Richard . "
