“Cornell Botanic Gardens has played a central role in my Cornell experience, from my earliest Cornell memories as a toddler, visiting the F.R. Newman Arboretum with my mom. As a student, I visited the Botanic Gardens frequently with CALS classes and with friends. In the years since graduating, I’ve come to appreciate even more all that Cornell Botanic Gardens contributes to the university, the Ithaca community, and the larger world. There’s something sparking inspiration around every corner, from the stunning gorges to gardens demonstrating climate-change impacts. Having such an incredible natural and educational resource in our midst is something Cornellians should not take for granted.”
