About: HPU alumnus Buddy Deal and his wife, Doris, supported this garden near the Webb Conference Center. One particularly special plant is an oakleaf hydrangea called ‘Little Honey’ (Hydrangea quercifolia ‘Little Honey’) because Doris’ late husband, Buddy, used to call her his “Little Honey.” That detail made the garden even more meaningful to Doris. The garden was relocated in 2016 with an expansion of the plantings. This garden is a favorite of the gardens staff for its interesting plant selections and its serene atmosphere.
