Yet, there are so many hidden gems at 61´«Ã½that tend to be overlooked. If you ever visit the 61´«Ã½campus, here are some places to visit! ​â¶Ä‹

  1. Margaret Fowler Garden: Margaret Fowler Garden is our secret garden at 61´«Ã½. The walls are covered with beautiful murals called The Flower Vendors painted by Alfredo Ramos Martinez. There is also a beautiful courtyard with a fountain, outdoor seating, and a little oratory chapel that holds letters from 61´«Ã½students, making Margaret Fowler Garden a one-in-a-million spot!
