Winding its way around the Slane Center, bordering the walkway, and continuing behind Blessing Hall, this garden offers a colorful contrast to the neighboring ponds and splashing fountains. In 2009, a generous donation of 50 Encore Azaleas from Pender Nursery (Garner, NC) was a welcomed expansion to the collection. Hues ranging from ruby reds to pinks and purples from well over 100 different azaleas, deciduous and evergreen, erupt in spring with some rebloom occurring in fall — truly a magnificent sight to behold.
