Kennedy inbound on the Ogden exit ramp

The expressway garden located on the Ogden Avenue exit ramp along the inbound lanes of the Kennedy is a stunning site that displays yellow and orange Hemerocallis, hardy ‘double knockout’ roses, and purple flowering Russian sage. A grove of trees behind the sponsorship panel allows your corporate logo to stand out. The magnificent Chicago skyline rounds out this unique garden.

100 gardens cover almost 150 acres of roadside landscapes on all major expressways leading in and out of Chicago

The Expressway Partnership Program
The Expressway Partnership Program turns dreary embankments into ribbons of green parkways weaving through the city. More than 100 gardens comprise the Program, covering almost 150 acres of roadside landscapes on all major expressways leading into and out of the city. Each garden is carefully planned using native shrubs, trees, and perennials that require fewer resources and are well adapted to the harsh roadside growing conditions. We work closely with professional landscape crews to provide plant care, weed control, mowing, and litter pickup from April through October to ensure our gardens always look their best!
