I was on campus for a meeting at Butler University today and I was a little early so I thought I would take a stroll and check out the formal gardens and other plants on campus. The landscaping overall was beautiful, but I had heard plenty about the formal gardens so I wanted to check them out especially.

Pinus strobus 'Pendula' at Butler University |
My favorite was the belltower tucked along the edge of the woods on a hill overlooking a pond, and 3 absolutely gorgeous shaggy weeping white pine trees [Pinus strobus 'Pendula'] out in front of their HRC building.

Had to crank the brightness on this photo to make up for the shade and backlight |
The bell tower was really cool, and it was right by the pond in the woods near the observatory (the only other building on campus
I've been inside).
