Check out the large cowboy boot topiary at the southwest corner of Theta Pond near the intersection of University and Monroe Streets.

It is seven feet tall and is a combination of six plants. It is branded with an orange O (the orange color was achieved by using bronze-colored Hens and Chicks.)

Landscape grounds manager Steve Dobbs noted that “the purpose of the topiary is to create excitement about changes in the campus landscape program and to showcase the talent of our grounds and landscape staff.”

The topiary took six months to complete and Wilson Hilson, landscape technology specialist, designed the logistics of the boot. Groundskeepers Kim Ward and Deanna Shatswell planted the plants.
