Class of '53 Container Gardens

Each summer, dozens of colorful container plantings adorn the patio of the Lewis Education Center. The bold, sometimes flamboyant flowers and foliage evoke a sense of the tropics and mirror Ithaca’s warm summers. Container gardens can consist of a variety of colors, as well as interesting textures and growth habits. Plants often included in the container collection are canna, hibiscus, coleus, lantana, gazania, and fuchsia.
