Leading to Holden Hall, there is a sidewalk with two bushes on either side. Every day, I passed those bushes every day on my way to work and class. I particularly remember one day that I noticed them, they seemed to be reaching out to me. I had never seen them so healthy. Their purple leaves looked vibrant and intense. I was sad to see the bush die during the winter along with most of the other plants near Holden. It is always a dull time that follows the beautiful colors of fall until the first snowfall. However, the bush came back to liven up the area in the spring. I never knew that this particular bush was called a Heather plant until recently. The bush produces lots of very little flowers which gives it the appearance of being entirely purple. It covers a lot of ground, making it very large. While I do not live in Holden Hall anymore, I do take a special note of the bush every time I happen to pass by.
