Take a morning stroll through the Fabyan Japanese Garden or walk through the Fabyan Villa Museum for general history tours about the Fabyan’s and their beautiful Riverbank estate.
There is also a 68-foot, five-story Dutch windmill in this preserve! Enjoy a blend of Geneva’s flora and fauna and creativity at Garden Artistry at City Hall. Inspired by Chicago’s Lurie Garden, this City Hall features four unique perennial plant combinations inspired by the gardens in Chicago’s Millennium Park.
