This garden surrounds Fischer Greenhouse and features sweeping garden beds that accentuate the building. Small trees, flowering shrubs, and herbaceous plants grace the greenhouse’s entryway, while a hedgerow with small ornamental and flowering trees borders the parking lot.
Throughout the garden, several mature specimens of hollies, including Foster’s Holly (Ilex xattenuata), American Holly (Ilex opaca), and English Holly (Ilex aquifolium), provide shade and winter interest. To the left of the greenhouse, the hydrangea collection provides visitors with an oasis of dappled shade, particularly in the summer.
History
In the 1960s, the Fischer Greenhouse garden was the site of a one-acre rose garden maintained by undergraduates in the horticulture program—a precursor to the current internship program.
