        Behind the Brain Plaza

        The Beck Family Gardens are located in the 'Behind the Brain' Plaza on the east side of Merrill Hall. This perennial garden was designed and planted by University Horticulturalist Mike Norman. The Beck Family decided they would set up a foundation account to support the upkeep and maintenance of this beautiful setting. The gardens contain many varieties of perennial plants and shrubs accentuated by mature trees existing from the original plaza.
