Greenhouse field trip

Students in Horticultural Science and Systems (PLHRT 1101)  got a glimpse of what’s going on in the new Liberty Hyde Bailey Conservatory, Plant Science Greenhouses, and Kenneth Post Lab Greenhouse Complex on a walking tour led by Neil Mattson, associate professor in the Horticulture Section last Friday.

Highlights included viewing what Cornell’s first-to-flower titan arum ‘Wee Stinky’ looks like during its vegetative stage, with its single leaf pressing the rafters (below).
