Florals from William & Mary's Adams Garden
About the Garden Dedicated in 1986 to the memory of Gregory S. Adams, a member of the W&M Class of 1981, the Adams Garden has become a popular spot for both locals and international travelers who plan regular visits throughout the year to enjoy what is in flower. Some call it Williamsburg's Secret Garden, tucked away as it is behind looming Boxwoods from the small triangular Baldwin Garden at the corner of Richmond Road and North Boundary Street. It's picket fence doesn't even give it away, as the College has many such fences and, besides, busy traffic on two sides of it distracts those who are unaware of its quiet presence. But more than 20,000 annual visitors tour the Adams Garden, photograph its plants and flowers, and sit and gather their thoughts on the garden's benches.
