HIDDEN GEMS OF OREGON STATE : Outside of Engineering Triangle
There’s just something about being out in nature — it helps you relax, reduces stress and gives you a moment of zen — even if you only have a short time to break away from the daily bustle. We’ve created a list of our favorite outdoor nooks for you to enjoy. While you could relish these cozy spots any time of year, summer is the prime time to enjoy them. So head out there, sip an iced coffee, study or simply take a deep breath or two.
Outside of Engineering Triangle
These newer benches tucked between Shepard Hall and Rogers Hall provide a green haven for those in the Engineering Triangle. Take a stretch break by grabbing your favorite cold drink from one of the many options along Monroe Avenue (we like boba) and sip it in this alcove.

2022 Hall of Fame Award Verl Holden, Nurseryman and Grower
2022 Hall of Fame awardee Verl Holden. Verl Holden is an icon of Oregon agriculture. He has been a horticulturalist since he was a teen working at a nursery, eventually graduating from Oregon State University in 1953 with a degree in Floriculture. In addition to his service to Oregon agriculture, Verl served in both Korea and Japan in the US Air Force and following his military career joined the Oregon Association of Nurseries in 1958.
Verl Holden has helped to write the history of Oregon Horticulture and his life story is inextricably intertwined with the arc of the nursery industry. His stunning work at the Oregon Garden is a legacy gift for generations of Oregonians.
Verl founded Holden Wholesale Growers in 1964 and still operates it today at 90 years young along with his son, Paul. One of his earliest and most significant accomplishments was the widespread adoption of the blue spruce as a landscape ornamental. He later adopted the “hot callus”grafting technique developed at Oregon State to improve graft “take” on multiple kinds of ornamentals, and he has helped to promote this technique broadly. Today, it remains an essential tool for propagators.
A true innovator and gifted horticulturalist, Verl has selflessly given back to the industry and to his community, supporting research and outreach at Oregon State University as well as investing time and talent at Oregon Correctional Institute, teaching landscaping and horticulture. For all of these reasons, we are pleased to honor Verl Holden as a recipient of the 2022 College of Agricultural Sciences Hall of Fame Award.
