One thing about working at a university is that they always know how to make the place look good for prospective students, parent's weekend and graduation. Well, Princeton is no exception! The past few weeks the campus has been packed with high school seniors and their parents coming to check the place out and soon it will be reunions and graduation, so of course, everything is in full bloom!
These are some shots that I took over my lunch break today in Prospect Gardens, one of the prettiest places on campus, in my humble opinion.
Love all these tulips!
From the University Website:"The flower garden at the rear of Prospect was laid out in approximately its present form by Mrs. Woodrow Wilson after her husband had the iron fence erected around the garden’s perimeter. Mrs. Wilson was the one who laid out the garden in the shape of the University Seal, so that, when viewed from above, the pathways define the shield outline. Mrs. Wilson also supervised the planting of the evergreens, predominantly Canadian hemlock, that serve as a backdrop for the flower garden. The flowers are changed at regular intervals throughout the growing season."
