The Janie Earle Furman Rose Garden is starting to bloom on the campus of Furman University. Beautiful roses in shades of red, pink, and yellow line the walks and perfume the air. Here are a few photographs of the garden taken yesterday afternoon:
The beautiful rose garden we see today started out as an expanse of dirt back in the 1950s not long after the current campus of Furman University opened. Over time, a set of brick stairs was built, and finally the garden was landscaped in the familiar pattern we know today. The following black-and-white photograph shows the rose garden after the stairs were built but before any landscaping occurred. The photograph is part of the digital collection New Campus Photos, 1950-1962.
I like what you guys are up too. Such smart work and reporting!
Carry on the superb works guys 🙂
