The Conrad Formal Gardens, located across from the Miami Inn, have gone a full year without maintenance.
The flowers sprout through clusters of weeds, and dead plants sit alongside the vibrant ones. Bright pink and yellow tulips symbolize signs of life on a campus feeling the chilling effects of pandemic spanning more than a year.

Even without their typical upkeep, the gardens still attract walkers and hammockers who come to admire their natural beauty.
