Image description:
The lower garden is one of the best known because of the presence of the Merton Spire in the center, carved for Oxford's Merton College Chapel in 1451. In 1928 it was given to the University to honor Jefferson's educational ideals. The wilderness of the native trees and shrubs is reminiscent of the groves at Monticello, and includes sweetbay rhododendron and mountain laurel. The Pavilion Garden VI exhibits an orchard in the middle terrace and an open lawn edged in boxwoods at the top.
