    Campus Community Garden

    Start at the Campus Community Garden. It is a peaceful spot for students and staff to grow plants and connect with nature. Arriving at noon lets you enjoy the garden before the midday heat peaks.

  2. 12:45

    Sammy's Pastrami and Burgers

    Walk nine minutes to Sammy’s Pastrami and Burgers for lunch. It is open from noon, so you can grab a burger or pastrami sandwich right after your garden walk.

  3. 13:30

    The Talisman

    Stroll twenty-three minutes northwest to The Talisman. This metal sculpture by Kevin Robb stands near the law school clock tower. Look closely to spot the letters U-N-L-V twisted into the design.
