Our Gardens and Natural Areas
We are responsible for the natural beauty of the Cornell University campus including cultivated gardens, an arboretum, and natural areas. Together these comprise one-third of campus, and with off-campus natural areas, a total of 3,600 acres.
WHAT TO SEE IN SPRING!
Spring unfolds starting with the emergence of early spring flowers and bulbs, followed by a succession of flowering fruit trees and magnolias, and hundreds of rhododendron blooms in late spring.
UPCOMING EVENTS
While we are unable to host on-site programs, we offer these online events, videos, activities, and articles to stay connected to our gardens and natural areas.
