Hidden gardens are all over Italy. I once went on a garden walk in Florence that gave me a glimpse of the blooms and greenery hiding behind the city's high walls. Sometimes you can peek into courtyards through iron gates or doors left ajar to see terra cotta pots and burbling fountains. I think that's one reason I like to wander through Chicago's alleys--because you can peek into people's yards into a hidden oasis. This one is in the Ravenswood Manor neighborhood, also known as the home base of ex-governor Rod Blagojevich.
