This place is Evanston's hidden gem. If you like flowers and roses, this place is special. It is a beautiful, peaceful garden. It is well tended and a pleasure to walk through. It has many rose varieties and lots of colors. I like the multicolored roses the best. It is free and open. You can walk through at any time. There is also a beautiful fountain, which unfortunately is not running this year due to Covid, although I am not sure why.
