Purdue University Horticulture Gardens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Purdue University Horticulture Gardens (0.5 acres) are botanical gardens located on the Purdue University campus, adjacent to the Horticulture Building at 625 Agriculture Mall Drive, West Lafayette, Indiana. They are open to the public year-round, seven days a week.
Established in 1982, the gardens now display a wide diversity of plants, including nearly 200 species of perennial flowers and foliage plants, and over 300 cultivars of annual flowers and garden vegetables. Collections include peonies, daylilies, hosta, spring-flowering bulbs, and ornamental grasses.
Recently demolished after utility problems and construction, the current landscape architecture students were asked to redesign the half-acre site. Reconstruction of the gardens should begin in the summer of 2006.
