Cornell University grounds are extensive - including many interesting places. Our favorite had to be the Plantations and Arboretum. Incredible species of spices, and flowers that the warm SoCal weather doesn't allow. A great new center and well-marked signs make this an easy place to explore.

Worth the trip if you are near or on campus. Leaned a lot strolling and reading the plant indentifiers... Myths, medicinal herbs, literature, history . Small but beautiful .

What a great place to experience a vast collection of beautiful flora! Brought many friends here and all amazed...Definitely a spiritual connection!

Strolling the walkways of Cornell Plantations gives you plenty of feeling of being in nature without the inconveniences that often come with it.

So much was still in bloom at the end of the growing season ~it was a special afternoon. With the location on the Cornell Campus, it was, of course, a learning experience. The gardens were well posted and... More
