The gardens were small but peaceful. Students took refuge in the many benches and birds loved the luscious landscape.The website was helpful for where to park.

The gardens provide a short, shady stroll on a campus hillside, with a selection of exotic plants in the greenhouses. Keep a look-out for the Spring plant sale (usually in April) - garden staff and volunteers can help you select whatever you might need for...More
