The Sisters' Secret Garden in the news

I was turning the pages of the Sunday paper when the words "Sister Jeane Crapo" caught my eye. Chicago Tribune reported a lovely story on the history of the scarcely known Dominican nuns' garden, first planted back in 1979 when the university was called Rosary College. Recently, elementary school-age Girl Scouts rehabilitated and re-beautified the garden, which had been abandoned and become dilapidated for many years. Seeing Dominican covered in a national newspaper was a pleasant surprise, and the story is inspiring.
