From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Martha Springer Botanical Garden (1 acre) is a botanical garden on the campus of Willamette University, located in Salem, Oregon, United States.
[edit] About
The garden was dedicated in 1988 in honor of Professor Martha Springer, a biologist at the school.[1] Its long, narrow site behind the athletic building is divided into 12 smaller gardens, including a butterfly garden, herb garden, alpine rock garden, theme borders, and ethnobotany gardens.[1] Much of the garden contains species native to the state of Oregon. The botanical garden lies along the Mill Race that disects the school's campus after leaving the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill site to the east.[1]
Martha Springer Botanical Garden is sometimes refered to as a secret garden since few people are aware of its existance and it is tucked away behind buildings on the campus.[2] Other features of the garden include benches, a rock fountain, and roses.[2]
