Trudy's Garden is a small ornamental garden located behind Alumnae House. It was established in honor of Gertrude "Trudy" Ridgeway Stella '37, who served for 20 years as the director of the Alumnae Association. The fence surrounding the garden was designed by the late Elliot Offner, sculptor and professor emeritus. Offner's large bronze sculpture "Bittern Mother and Child," 1992, was placed for permanent viewing in Trudy's Garden.
