On the grounds of Union College, not far from the Nott Memorial, one can find Jackson's Garden. Jackson's Garden is 8 acres of paths, plantings and trees that roughly follows along Hans Groot's Kill.
The Kill (local lore is that kill is the Dutch word for creek.) is a slow moving, quiet piece of water. I hope this photo captures some of the peacefulness of the place.
If you visit the Garden in the summer, be prepared for the mosquitoes. With all the water and shade, it's a perfect place for them.
