植物园

A unique feature of the 体彩外围网站 植物园 was created in 1996 when the Japanese Friendship Garden was installed in the courtyard on the east side of Hazelrigg Student Union. The student union lobby over looks the garden, which was sponsored by the Hastings/Arapahoe/Ozu, Japan International Exchange Program.

还有一个 雨水花园 near the Morrison-Reeves Science Center, which is a green building designed to meet high sustainability standards — and one of the goals is the wise use of water. The 雨水花园 helps protect water quality by capturing much of the rainwater from the building’s roof and grounds and filtering out potentially harmful pollutants. It incorporates native plants, 像秋麒麟草属植物,一个松果菊, Viburnum和更多, to provide a unique and beautiful landscape with optimal seasonal appeal and butterfly habitat.
