The garden is an integral part of the whole project.
“The garden,” explains Owen-Bergland, “will represent
the ecological heritage of northwest Indiana. Tall grasses six feet
high in planters will reflect the region’s place on the eastern
edge of the tall grass prairie. A fountain with boulders is a reference
to the retreat of a glacier to Lake Michigan, which left boulders
in its wake. This backdrop representing the native prairie will
complement the industrial vision of the sculptures.” |
