A big turnout of parents and kids officially welcomed Lincolnwood School’s new Star Garden to Evanston Thursday evening.
The vegetable garden, in the shape of a star, was designed by Evanston parent and landscape architect Paul Williams and constructed by a group of parents under the leadership of Dana Gerstein and Katrina Martin.
The official ribbon-cutting ceremony featured remarks by author and master gardener William Moss.
