Situated on the hillside between the Original Headquarters Building and
the Auditorium is the Memorial Garden. Designed in 1995 by Sheila Brady
of landscape architects Oehme, Van Sweden & Associates and dedicated
in 1996, the garden makes exceptional use of the natural environment.
An inscribed brass plaque which reads "In remembrance of those whose unheralded
efforts served a grateful nation" is set in fieldstone which surrounds
a large pond. The blend of natural and landscaped plantings amid the stone
outcroppings, from which a cascade of water continuously falls, has created
a tranquil and reflective retreat for Agency employees.
