Ginkgo Leaves
The Ruth Mathews Garden is home to a variety of native plants and is used for teaching and research. It is located at the corner of South Limestone Street and Washington Avenue.
The Mathews Garden was originally part of the grounds of the Mathews House and the original plan of the garden was the work of Clarence Wentworth Mathews. In later years it was tended by Ruth E. Mathews, his daughter, who sold it to the University in 1968.
