Here's the map of Headingley campus again should any students reading this blog need to know where their next lecture is :)
1: James Graham, 2: Student Hub/Refectory, 3: Caedmon, 4: Priestley, 5: Leighton, 6: Macaulay, 7: Bronte, 8: The Grange, 9: Cavendish, 10: Fairfax, 11: Design and Technology, 12-20: Carnegie, 21: The Cottage, 22: Churchwood, 23: North Lodge, 24: Carnegie Village, 25: Coach House, 26: Landscape Resource Centre and Experimental Gardens, 27: South Lodge, 28: Queenswood, 33: Changing Pavilion.
I hope that all the students new and old love the Headingley campus and what there is to see within the grounds on a day to day basis. Be it the wonderful wildlife we have or the bloomin' marvellous flowers in each border which add a dash of colour to their surroundings, especially in the spring and summer months.
At the moment we have a lot of greenery rather than flowers but this still adds a lot to the campus. The Phormium always look stunning any time of year and can be found in the borders of Cavendish, Fairfax, and outside the Carnegie gymnasium. The Lonicera at Carnegie has yellow leaves which adds a little bit of a different perspective to the border, and the Mahonia found outside the James Graham building has a stunning lime green shade. The Hydrangea's have all but finished flowering for the season now but there may still be the odd flower hanging on.
We have a few Hosta's dotted about campus and if the slugs haven't eaten all the leaves yet then it's worth keeping an eye out for them, especially at Churchwood. They have a lovely light green shade with really defined veins and with a white stripe running around the edge of the leaf. The Rowan trees dotted about campus are still looking brilliant with all the bright red berries ready and waiting for the birds.
I will keep you all updated on what else there is to look out for over the coming autumn and any projects we may be undertaking as the growing season slows down.
