点评:The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, is the best place I know to learn, discover and enjoy nature, whether you negotiate the 1,700 acres by driving, hiking, biking or picnicking. Located at 4100 Lincoln Avenue on Route 53 in Chicago's western suburb, this public garden, outdoor museum and Children's garden contains 4,100 types of trees, on e of the largest restored tallgrass prairies in the Chicago area and more than 200,000 living plants. Founded in 1922 by Joy Morton, founder of Morton Salt, the grounds are open daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Start at the 36,000-square-foot Visitor Center, which includes wood representing the Arboretum's collections. The Arboretum's stated mission is to collect and study trees, shrubs and other plants from around the world, to display them across naturally beautiful landscapes for people to study and enjoy and to learn how to grow them in ways that enhance the environment. Did you know that the oldest tree in the Chicago area is located at the Morton Arboretum, the Millennium Landmark Tree, a white oak that is said to be more than 330 years old? And don't miss the Arboretum's most recent exhibit, the latest of five large-scale sculpture exhibitions, Of The Earth. Unveiled last May, located a short walk from the parking lot, it features five exclusive new works by Polish American artist Olga Ziemska.
