The pear trees in the court yard at UWindsor's School of Social Work and the Centre for Executive and Professional Education are in full bloom. The trees serve as an homage to the Jesuit pear trees that once grew in the region.

Pear trees blooming in the heritage courtyard adjacent to the Pitt-Ferry Building bring to mind the Jesuit farmers who were the area’s first European settlers, says Craig Goodman, principal with CS&P Architects who designed the project.
Home to the University’s social work program and the Centre for Executive and Professional Education, the building includes a historic façade enclosing an outdoor courtyard, which now shelters the pear trees.
