位于密集种植的植物学池塘对面，Cobb Gate的花园设有一个带有开放式草地的“干地”对面，学生们可以在课堂之间放松身心。 除了草坪之外，花园还设有一个精心策划的天然植物自然社区，包括草，鸟和多年生植物。 种植设计符合四分之一英亩空间内复杂的光阴模式，并与由植物学系教师，学生和设施人员组成的大学委员会合作设计。

Located just across from the densely-planted Botany Pond, the garden at Cobb Gate offers a ‘dry land’ counterpart with open lawn on which students can relax between classes. In addition to lawn, the garden features a carefully-orchestrated natural community of native plants, including grasses, forbs and perennials. The planting design responds to the complex pattern of light and shade within the quarter-acre space and was designed in collaboration with a University committee comprised of botany department faculty, students and facilities staff.
