I adopted the Secret Garden box to retire it. Please let me know if this was yours and you want to replace.
Secret Garden Our path begins on the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs CT. Parking is available in either the North or South Parking garages (see the UConn website for a map and parking details www.uconn.edu). Our garden is a secret, open to all, but visited by few. A shady place surrounded by a wall, built as a gift for the University President many years ago. You won’t find any red flowers here, or yellow or pink, but gorgeous blues and whites beguile with heavenly scents and sights, celebrating The University of Connecticut. We start our walk with a visit to Jonathan, the Uconn Husky mascot. He has his own little garden tucked between the Big Dome and the Big Pool. Climb up and give him a pat, then follow his gaze and carefully cross the street. Look for the key imbedded in the stone, with three Greek letters, all alone. Follow the trail eastward as it curves beside the wall, then take the main road east until you come to the great circle with the seal. (Hint- it’s under your feet!) Keep heading east as the main way narrows down the slope. You will come to the brick walk where cars can turn in a circle, take care to stay out of their way on the north sidewalk. Follow the curve, then dip down the small path that continues east. Take the high road or the low, but follow it around to the east side of the building with the odd black windows. The Secret Garden is enclosed in the old stone wall below. In every season there is something to see, Crocus and Hyacinth give way to Alliums and Lily-of-the-valley. Blue Delphiniums and white Cleone to fall foliage and winters snows. It is a peaceful place, sit and relax, and when you are ready, find the bush in the corner that never loses its leaves. The letterbox is hidden at the base of the tree behind. Take care not to trample the plants. You might want to hop over the wall from the back, in a discrete ‘I’m not doing anything’ kind of way. Stamp in private, then return the box to its resting place for others to discover.
