In 2018, the University planted this garden between Firestone Library and Nassau Street to honor Betsey Stockton, a prominent African American missionary and educator in the 19th century and former slave of University president Ashbel Green. The grasses and flowering plants serve as a green roof for the library’s B and C floors.
