Hempstead, New York
This serene garden in front of Hofstra University’s Arena is a welcome respite from the sights and sounds of busy Long Island life. The gently flowing stream meanders around a moss rock outcropping and weaves its way through the garden. Waterfall cascades enter a fish pond with water lillies. A bridge crosses the stream and leads to a rustic cedar gazebo located at the edge of the pond. The stream curves around the base of a rock ridge and flows toward the gazebo. The garden is a peaceful place where professors and students alike can take a moment away from their hectic schedules for quiet contemplation. (Gazebo and bridge by Romancing the Woods).
