The Post-Dispatch describes the Gardens at SIUE as a 36-acre space featuring several smaller specialty gardens, including Shakespeare's Garden - a circular plot of flowers mentioned by the Bard - a butterfly garden, the Wind Forest with its planted wildflowers, and the Prairie Portal, complete with a human sundial.
