The vibrant Margaret L. Sweatt Entry Terrace welcomes visitors to the second-level entrance of the Oswald Visitor Center. The sunny terrace garden is filled with the wonderful scent of the rugosa roses, which are surrounded by flowers in purple and blue hues. Along the sidewalk, clematis and annual flowering vines clamber up a long trellis that encloses the Wall Teaching Garden. Visitors can also catch a glimpse of the “Wavecrest” sculpture hidden amongst the foliage.
