Jens Jensen - an historical visitation by Door County TODAY

doorcounty.net - After a lengthy, honored career in Chicago, in 1935 landscape architect Jens Jensen moved from Highland Park, Illinois to Ellison Bay, Wisconsin, where he established "The Clearing," which he called a "school of the soil" to train future landscape architects. The Clearing preserved open space and education center in the 'folk school tradition.' In the course of his long career, he worked with many well known architects including Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, George Maher and Albert Kahn. Jensen died at his home, "The Clearing," on October 1, 1951, at the age of 91.

I'm currently helping rebuild one of Jensen's gardens, I feel a true connection to his vision.
