CULTURAL LANDSCAPE TREATMENT PLAN ROBERT ALLERTON PARK, MONTICELLO, ILLINOIS The University has recently undertaken three major initiatives regarding the formal gardens. The first was construction of a fully accessible path system through the main gardens, which was completed in 2000. While the “crunch” of the original pea stone has been lost in some areas, the main gardens are now fully accessible to all visitors, an important commitment to public use. The second major initiative was to establish a fund raising and donor program to support preservation and restoration of the gardens. Recent projects completed through that initiative have included conservation of the Girl with a Scarf and rehabilitation of adjacent plantings in the Brick Wall Garden, as well as rehabilitation of the Avenue of the Chinese Musicians. These two projects led to recognition of the importance of having an overall plan to guide projects in the formal gardens, resulting in the third initiative, preparation of this Cultural Landscape Treatment Plan.
