ABOUT
Cornell Botanic Gardens
Formerly Cornell Plantation, this mature botanical garden, arboretum, and network of nature preserves provide an ideal spot for enjoying nature while learning more about plants, horticulture, and the important connections between people and the natural world. Scheduled tours of Cornell Botanic Gardens take groups on a personalized, up-close look at 25 acres of verdant plant life. Students, scouts, homeschoolers, and campers can explore gardens on the campus, tour the arboretum, view artwork in the Nevin Welcome Center, hike the trails within Cornell Botanic Gardens, and participate in educational programs. Group tours by bus or on foot are offered from May through October.

FUN FACTS
The diverse world of plants is perhaps the weirdest, and most fascinating, of all living things. Bamboo can grow over three feet in one day (you can literally watch it grow). There are 600 species of carnivorous plants, which trap and digest insects, frogs, or small birds (if a vegetarian eats this plant, are they still a vegetarian?). The world’s largest flower, Rafflesia, can grow up to three feet in diameter (how big would a bouquet be…). Do a little digging on your next trip to a botanical garden (not literally!), and see what interesting plant facts you can find.Â
