Breathtaking and majestic, the Jerusalem Artichoke, Helianthus tuberosus, is prominent today at Evelyn Pease Tyner Interpretive Center, Air Station Prairie, Glenview, IL.
This location, once within the former Glenview Navel Air Station is a remnant of the tall grasslands and prairie that once stretched westward from the southwestern shores of Lake Michigan.
The on-site interpretive center, complete with a roof top prairie garden is the focal point for the volunteers and many visitors to the preserve.
