Andrews and Burnett Gardens
Covering approximately 4,000 square feet, Andrews and Burnett Gardens bring to life a mixture of sensual delights throughout the year. From spring's early bulbs, through summer's masses of colorful blossoms, to winter's textures and hues visitors can experience a wide variety of delights.
These gardens are designed to take advantage of their southern exposure and as a result they are usually the first to bloom on campus each year. The gardens also serve as a transition area between a heavily travelled walkway and the Andrews and Burnett academic buildings . Consequently, the plants must be able to withstand the heat of the summer sun as well as the reflected heat from the nearby sidewalk and buildings.
Another unique characteristic is the garden's position in the middle of campus. Benches are placed along the walk offering the visitor the opportunity to sit back, relax, and enjoy the garden's comforts and campus activities. Andrews and Burnett Gardens are truly a "refreshing" experience.
The perennial beds soften the edges of the paired walks leading to the library, but their symmetrical placement recalls the garden's historical design and echoes the angular mass of Love Library.
Dwarf yew hedges maintain the formality of the old garden, now balanced by the informal feel of the colorful perennial flower beds. The traditional expanse of lawn ties Love Library to similar open spaces south of Canfield Administration building and the College of Business Administration and acts as the setting for the jewel-like flower beds.
