Truman State University sunken garden 10.6.20

That Sunday we also visited Truman's sunken garden.  This is a fairly popular wedding spot.  It is quiet, secluded and beautiful, but it is also very hot and a bit noisy.  The building next to the garden has a loud air conditioning system that ran the whole time we were there.  It wasn't terrible, sort of like white noise.  There was little to no air movement that day, so I'm thinking it could be terribly hot if the weather is wrong.  There are some beautiful statues etc.  Unfortunately, the weather has been so terribly wet, it's hard to tell what it would look like in a normal year.  They just got the plantings in around the outside because it won't dry up. 


One view from the side.  Notice the beautiful cobblestones.  Elizabeth wants everyone to hear Sammy's hoofstrikes as she's walking up.


View from one end of the sunken garden.  There are these white shelter benches at each end.



 


 

This is looking thru the shelter to the other shelter.



Here you can see the shelter and how the garden is slightly sunken.



The grounds here a beautiful and well kept.  The garden is very near the bell wall and the clock tower.  WE haven't checked to see if bringing horses in for the wedding is even a possibility though.
