The Leach Teaching Gardens, the first phase of The Gardens at Texas A&M, offers 7 acres of beautiful public gardens and open space. The landscape architects worked with architects to lead a team of professionals and administrators to fulfill a longstanding need for a public garden at this major university. An enticing arrangement of garden spaces provides a beautiful garden experience, as well as education opportunities for university students, K-12 kids and lifetime garden enthusiasts. Some gardens celebrate Texas’ cultural influences like Czech, Mexican and German while others demonstrate important contemporary issues like Earth-Kind gardening, water conservation and modern agriculture.
