We have had a striking visitor at North Pond! This is a Snowy Egret, known to wade in shallow water and spear fish to hunt. These birds are not common additions to our fauna, so we hope our bird-lovers will have a chance to see him!

OPEN CALL: in celebration of Florasonic’s 25th anniversary, ESS is seeking proposals for four-channel sound compositions created for installation in the Lincoln Park Conservatory Fern Room.

One of the only ongoing sound installation programs in the U.S., Florasonic has commissioned 47 original works since 2001.

Proposed projects should showcase the unique potential of multichannel sound in this highly public context, demonstrating consideration for the location, which serves as a sanctuary and space of meditative calm and wonder for visitors of all ages and backgrounds. The selected installation will run from Sunday, August 23-October 11, 2026.

Proposals are due Sunday, June 14, 2026 by midnight. Application and further details linked in bio.

Florasonic is developed by Experimental Sound Studio and is presented in partnership with the Lincoln Park Conservatory. This year’s program is supported by the Paul M. Angell Foundation.

Happy #WorldBeeDay! This international holiday serves to acknowledge the role and importance of bees in ecosystems worldwide.

This day was chosen as it was the birthday of beekeeping pioneer, Anton Janša!

Fun fact about bees:
Honey bees cannot see red light but can see ultraviolet light. This enables them to see intricate ultraviolet light patterns on flower petals that humans cannot see!

Happy #WildflowerFriday! This week's wildflower is the Marsh Marigold!
✏️ Latin: Caltha palustris
🚪 On the Isle of Man, it was considered a good omen, and the flowers, known as 'Mayflowers', were strewn on doorsteps.
💧 Its scientific name, palustris, is Latin for “of a marsh” and is often found in wet forests, near springs, and marshes.
🌼 While beautiful and has some medicinal uses, it can cause skin irritation.

I am finally getting around to sharing work from the first Umemi celebration at the Lincoln Park Conservatory a few Sundays ago! @lpconservancy
It was my first time in the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pond and it was such a treat to discover this garden more deeply through this activity! As opposed to the vegetables and seasonal produce from the farmers market, we found inspiration in the flowers around the garden, using clipboards to draw our e-tegamis in their context!
Redbuds and phlox were in bloom and those captured many eyes!
I really enjoyed meeting and chatting with you all about your cards and the activity! Hope to see you at another event soon!

Until next time!
