Miller Garden

The beautiful formal garden, located behind the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ House, has been made possible in large part through a generous gift in June 2001 from Anne H. Miller, who received her Masters in Education in 1981, and her husband, George.

Anne has been active in the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Association for many years. She was an energetic advocate for the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ House, and served tirelessly as chair of the Special Gifts committee. It was during her term as president of the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Association from 1994-95 that plans were finally drawn and construction began. To recognize her dedication and service, Anne received the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Appreciation Award in 1995. Since that time, she and George have continued to give generously to the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Association on the Leadership Giving level. And now, all ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ alumni are the recipients of their gracious generosity.

The garden consists of:

  • Phase 1 -Boxwoods with perennial rooms, hollies - 2001
  • Phase 2 - Pergola, fountain and brick walk - 2002
  • Phase 3 - Patio to the rear of the House, walkway and shrubs with
    perimeter lighting - 2008

Les Lutz, former groundskeeper and horticulture guru on the campus, and his staff worked with the Millers and the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ staff on the garden plans. David Scheid, a garden consultant, designed the perennial beds.

Anne and George, on behalf of the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Association, thank you for your generosity to the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ House, and now we are pleased to have a lasting tribute to you through the Miller ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Garden.

All alumni are invited to participate in the garden project by purchasing a brick for the walkway around the foundation. To purchase a brick, visit our Garden Brick Page.

The Miller Garden is now available to alumni for summer weddings or receptions. Reservations are handled through the Department of Conference Planning 410-543-6172.
