"South Garden, Loop. Coined the “Secret Garden,” the South Garden is a staff favorite spot to eat lunch or simply relax. The central plaza space is recessed and is bisected by a rectangular pool that terminates at the Fountain of the Great Lakes. On either side of the pool, raised planters containing cock spur hawthorn trees provide places to sit. Each planter is under-planted with ground cover and herbaceous plants for color in the summer months. The low branching of the trees creates a canopy over the entire plaza."
