Camp Rosemary
Lake Forest, Illinois


This garden was designed by Rose Standish Nichols in the 1920s and is made up of wonderful garden rooms
partitioned by pines, yews, and boxwood hedges.
A sweeping lawn and luscious container plantings at the front steps are the first hints of delightful discoveries inside. To view additional photo's from last year's tour, click HERE.
