Botanical Garden

The Botanical Garden is the broad name for the area at the heart of Cornell Plantations. Visitors with only a short time to see Plantations will want to focus on this 25-acre site, which features 12 theme, or specialty gardens. These include herbs, flowers, vegetables, rock garden plants, rhododendrons, perennials, ornamental grasses, groundcovers, vines, container gardens, plants with winter interest…even weeds!

When you visit, make your first stop the Nevin Welcome Center, our award-winning "green" building. Read more about what our Welcome Center has to offer.
