The Laurel Hall grounds are a joy for area arborists. The original landscaping was done by a Polish architect who brought with him plantings from many areas of Europe. Some trees here exist in few other locations in the Midwest. Two main fountains on the back patio are the centerpiece of the first view visitors have as the make their way to this unbelievable building. In several places on the six acre lot, are sitting areas for quiet contemplation or to take advantage of particularly scenic views. These benches, which are named for living or deceased members, provide comfortable respite for visitors as they walk around the grounds.
