Garden for the Senses
This peaceful getaway place is a combination of meadow and woodland situated on five acres of land just to the east of the campus housing. As its title suggests, the outdoor setting is designed to appeal to four senses. When entering the garden, the visitor can choose many different pathways to follow. The middle, paved pathway is edged by a triangular flower bed on either side and each bed has a surrounding gravel pathway. Continuing straight, the path leads to another flower bed that divides the path in two. These two paths, as well as the gravel paths all lead to a wide, trellised awning spanning the width of the entrance. Benches are nestled beneath this canopy and afford a peaceful place to absorb the myriad colorful flowers and lush foliage. Beyond the colorful entry way is a more wooded area. The combination of warm, open sunny areas and cool, shaded spaces makes this sensory area inviting year round.
