This garden and its associated plantings and statuary have been given in honor and loving memory of Mary Francis Potts Wilbanks, a 1941 graduate of this institution, by her husband, James Amos Wilbanks, of 59 years. Mr. Wilbanks established an endowed font that provides a perpetual source of funds to keep this garden in excellent condition for many generations to enjoy.
Accompanying this garden are statues of famed Shaskepearen characters, Romeo and Juliet.
