Who Designed Columbia University's Gardens
Green Spaces
The Columbia campus is an award-winning urban forest with more than 7,000 trees. Green and urban spaces interweave to form a vast, more than 400-acre environment of learning and living spaces.

A.C. Moore Garden
Corner of Blossom and Pickens streets
The secluded A.C. Moore Garden is home to a small duck pond surrounded by flowering shrubs and tall trees. The garden commemorates Andrew C. Moore, who twice served as acting president of the university. The garden, first created in 1936 and dedicated in 1941, was re-dedicated in 2001 as part of the university's bicentennial celebration.

Anne's Garden
Arnold School of Public Health Courtyard
The garden, named for alumna and Columbia Green founder Anne Rainey, features a centerpiece bronze sculpture, "Las Palomas." The Spanish name translates into "The Doves" in English and honors the doves and enduring hope depicted by the sculpture.

Barringer House Garden
Corner of Pickens and Barnwell streets (near Close-Hipp Buildings)
The university's former alumni house features two gardens — an expansive main garden and a private secondary garden. The picturesque building and grounds, which now serve as an event venue, feature walking paths, iron gates, renovated landscaping, tall trees and benches.

Community Garden
Preston Green College Quad
Full or half garden plots in the Carolina Community Garden can be tended by groups of at least four students, faculty or staff. The raised beds are often overflowing with seasonable herbs and vegetables and offer the peace of gardening for campus green thumbs.

Davis Field
Next to Russell House
Before Russell House was built in the 1950s, Davis Field was an outdoor athletics and recreation venue that stretched along Greene Street from Longstreet Theatre to Melton Field (near the current location of the Russell House), where Carolina played football. Today the restored green space is smaller, but once again used as a gathering space for campus.

Gibbes Green
Near McKissick Museum and Davis College
The green was once an open space between the university and the City of Columbia. A circular walkway within the gentle hills is a hub for multiple brick pathways that connect nearby buildings and the pedestrian footbridge extending to the east campus.

University Greenhouse
Horseshoe (near President's House)
The University Greenhouse is used to grow potted palms, ferns, orchids and other tropical plants for events in the President's House and around campus. The structure replaced an aging greenhouse that was demolished to make room for a studio beside the School of Journalism and Mass Communications Building on Sumter Street.
