A Tour of the Jens Jensen Gardens in Evanston - A Brief Video

Recently this summer, Jens Jensen expert Robert E. Grese and members of the Jensen family took a look at the gardens with about one hundred and fifty excited garden fans.

"We all need the living green or we'll shrivel up inside. To make the modern city livable is the task of our times."
