“Cornell Botanic Gardens is an integral part of the student experience at Cornell. The gardens and natural areas provide spaces for recreation and learning throughout the campus, affording students an escape from the rigors and pressure of academic life. Nothing revives the spirit like spending time walking through the gardens, exploring one of the many natural area trails, or taking a run through the arboretum.”
