Southall Memorial Garden
The
Southall Memorial Garden is dedicated to the memory of an outstanding NC State University horticulture
professor, Russell Southall, Ph.D., who taught plant materials from 1966 to
1978. He was greatly loved by his students and inspired an interest in plants
to many, many people. His untimely death in 1979 lead to the concept of this
garden as a hemlock tree grove containing many of his favorite plants and a
space that could be used as an outdoor classroom, lunch area, and for games.
This peaceful garden can be found at the Arboretum between Beryl Road and the
brick house.
