Drue Matthews Garden

Drue Matthews Garden Plant List

The Drue Matthews Garden, dedicated to Drue Matthews, Class of 1935, is located at the Southern end of the Talcott Greenhouse adjacent to the Art Building. The garden features alpine and rock garden plants, as well as a small frog pond and shade garden. The site has featured a small garden since the mid 1980's, and was revamped to include the rock garden in the mid 1990's.
