Collections

The Botany Garden and Greenhouse is home to living collections comprised of over 2300 plant taxa in 8000 ft2 of greenhouses and the 1.3 acre Botany Garden. In addition to our living collections, we are working through a multi-year project to document our collections through dried, pressed herbarium vouchers, dried and preserved tissues and photographs.

Our living collections are open to the public during our open hours. For full access to our database for research or teaching purposes, please submit a database access request form.
