About: In 2013, this garden was given by Alexander Rankin III, in memory of Bob and Nanabeth Rankin and Ed and Tootsie Rankin Pleasants. Patterned after the gardens around the traffic circle on the Champs-Elysees, this garden was added to the main campus entrance to welcome our visiting guests and prospective students. Composed of annuals, perennials, bulbs, evergreens, dwarf conifers, and ornamental onions that bloom purple, this garden exemplifies the diversity and vibrancy that is at HPU.
