hail damage in the Fern Room

I read today in the Cultural Landscape Foundation newsletter that the Garfield Park Conservatory, which I visited just a few weeks ago, was severely damaged in a recent hail storm. Broken glass from the greenhouses now litters the paths and covers the plants, which are exposed to direct sun and rain. It is sad to think about these treasures in such danger, and that the beautiful place I visited will take years to regain stability.
