About: Named after Daphne Horney, this garden is a reflective space surrounding the lower pond behind Blessing Hall. The class of 2008 gifted an arbor clothed in wisteria, which is a dominant feature of the garden. Fragrant selections such as wisteria, gardenias, and daphne delight the senses through the seasons. This garden offers visitors a chance to sit on two benches beside a pond, underneath the arbor built by Matt Mahoney, HPU’s director of landscaping. A purple and white curtain of wisteria hangs from the arbor, creating a secluded place near the whoosh of a nearby fountain.
