Conservation and Native Landscaping Awards Descriptions
Honorable Mention
Palos Park Village Hall
Village of Palos Park
Palos Park, Illinois
Contact: Patricia Jones
Because of the rich hardwood forest settings and the variety of
natural ecosystems within and bordering Palos Park, the Village
decided to use native plantings as a natural landscaping design for
the Kaptur Administrative Center, which was dedicated in October
2001. This native habitat of Prairie, Wet Shores and Fescue Grasses
and native Wildflowers and plants provides a striking, appealing
mixture of natural landscaping, while reducing maintenance costs and
eliminating the need for the use of fertilizers.
