Franklin & Marshall College

This garden is a gift of Dr. Jacob W. Stutzman, F&M Class of 1937, in memory of his wife Geraldine (Knepper) Stutzman (1920 - 2005). The Stutzmans were from Somerset County, PA. This Stutzman family can trace its history to the German Reformed, Brethren, and Amish families in that county. Dr. Stutzman was president of a pharmaceutical laboratory, and was an F&M trustee.
The third-floor greenhouse is the Steinman Plant Growth Facility, originally underwritten by Caroline Steinman Nunan. The campus-wide arboretum is also named for Mrs. Nunan.
