Sunken Garden, University lawn at College of William & Mary, Virginia, US.
The Sunken Garden spans 2.7 acres of grass terrain set below ground level, stretching from the Wren Building towards Crim Dell pond.
Charles M. Robinson designed this garden between 1919 and 1923, drawing inspiration from Christopher Wren's Chelsea Hospital plans in England.
Students gather in this central space for outdoor studying, sports activities, and social interactions throughout the academic year.
The garden features American Beech trees, Common Boxwood, and Crape Myrtle along its perimeter, creating natural boundaries for recreational activities.
Two ancient oaks mark the entrance: a willow oak on the south and a water oak on the north, standing among 300 different plant species.
