  Jens Jensen - About Luther - Luther College
Jens Jensen’s plan was breathtaking: he knew that the original landscape could never be restored, but he proposed to reshape the Luther College campus into a symbolic representation of what he called Mid-America, the heartland of a new world civilization.
Jensen snapped pictures with a little box camera and took notes on the native vegetation, eager to capture the essence of what he called the “immediate environment.” The wild plum was in bloom with its delicate aroma and color, “like clouds of snow drifting through the shady bottomlands,” as he later wrote.
Jens Jensen once wrote that “light and shadow and their distribution during the entire circle of the day and night are important fundamentals in the art of landscaping.” At Luther, sidewalks along the edges of clearings moved from the sunlight into small, shaded groves, then into sunlight again.

 Illinois - The song of Jens Jensen - He believed nature is art, and left Lincoln Memorial Garden as his legacy - ...
Jensen believed his art to be more closely associated to music that any other art, but I knew it wasn't the conversation of birds or the chatter of a distant squirrel that he had relied upon to create the link.
Jensen could have been commenting upon this episode when he wrote, "To produce mechanical and scientific effects in plant life is foreign to the true purpose of the landscaper and to the finer feelings of mankind." Not surprisingly, few of Jensen's public gardens still exist unaltered today.
Jensen would have the good fortune to live long enough to be able to return to one of his creations many years later, to witness in reality that of which he had only dreamt.

 Jens Jensen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Jens Jensen was born in Denmark, attended the agricultural school in Jutland and, after more technical training in Copenhagen, spent three years sketching parks in Berlin and other German cities.
He was profoundly affected by the magnificence of our midwestern landscapes -- the vast prairies, the oak openings, the placid streams, the richness of colors changing as the seasons changed -- and by the decorative qualities of the hawthorns, crabapples and sumacs.
Jensen's life was dedicated to preservation of the beauties of our native landscapes and also, because he loved people even more, to creating places of beauty for the permanent enjoyment of the people.

 Preservation Online: Story of the Week Archives: Only a few of landscape architect Jens Jensen's Midwestern designs ...
The prairie style landscape architect Jens Jensen (1860-1951) designed the estate, and there's a method to Jensen's madness, according to Arthur Miller, co-author of the book "Classic Country Estates of Lake Forest," to be published next month.
Jensen was born in 1860 in Denmark, and studied agriculture, like his father, a farmer.
Jensen repeated certain signature elements: a large meadow or prairie, a formal garden, often centering on a lengthy pergola, a rectilinear vegetable garden, and a pond or "prairie river." In 1908, Jensen created a home on the North Shore for himself, which he called the Clearing.

The "Friends" was founded in the fall of 1992 with two specific tasks: 1) to preserve Jens Jensen's studio at the original "Clearing" (his home) in Ravinia (Highland Park, IL) and 2) to raise public awareness of Jens Jensen and other "Prairie School" designers.
Jensen was always there, dressed in his Sunday finery, to personally give tours and to identify and discuss the garden's many native plants: considered a unique contrast with the Victorian fascination with exotic plants and geometric carpet bedding that typified garden design at that time.
Jensen's role in the developing Chicago parks was often tempestuous, and in 1900, he left to concentrate on his private practice.

Jensen created Columbus Park on the western edge of Chicago, and extensively redesigned three other large west-side parks (Humboldt, Garfield, and Douglas) as well as 15 small ones.
Everywhere he championed his core conviction: people must have some contact with the "living green," — flowers and plants native to their home.
To Jensen, landscape architecture was not just a profession, nor was the use of native plants just one style among many — they expressed his near-mystical belief in the renewing and civilizing powers of nature.
