Historical Note
Three instructional horticulture greenhouses were built on Wilson Road in 1951, between what would become Ensminger Pavilion and the future site of Lighty Hall. The greenhouses were torn down in 2007, and the two-thirds acre site was designated as a Display Garden at the behest of University President V. Lane Rawlins and under the guidance of landscape architecture professor Phil Waite. Design and building of the garden began in 2008 and continued thereafter through class projects in various landscape architecture courses.
