This small garden behind Alumnae House was dedicated in 1986 to honor Gertrude Ridgway Stella '37, who for 20 years served as Director of the Alumnae Association. The fence was designed by Elliot Offner. The garden is used by, and has strong ties to, the Alumnae Association. It was intended as an aesthetically pleasing garden, featuring flowering shrubs and perennials. In 2010, after Elliot Offner's death, his bronze Bittern Mother and Child was permanently placed on view in Trudy's Garden.
