The Gardens at Texas A&M University is a planned transformation of 27 acres on West Campus into a public teaching garden. The first 7 acres, the Leach Teaching Gardens, opened in 2018 and feature 21 themed sections as well as a climate-controlled pavilion. Designs for the remaining 20 acres are underway and will include rose gardens, a family/children’s garden, educational and event venues, and a re-creation of The Grove, an outdoor amphitheater originally located on main campus for concerts, movies and events.
The Gardens also offer fun events throughout the year, ranging from yoga and wine tasting to educational classes for children. Whether you live in College Station or are just visiting Aggieland, we invite you to view the full list of events and ways to get involved at gardens.tamu.edu.
