Cornell alumni, some visiting campus for the first time since creation of SIPS and opening of the new Liberty Hyde Bailey Conservatory, had an opportunity to learn more during the midday Botany and Plant Sciences Alumni gathering on Saturday June 10. Visiting alumni were treated to refreshments including just-harvested Honeoye strawberries from Marvin Pritts, historical photos and videos, and conversation with current faculty and staff.
Midday tours were also provided in the Liberty Hyde Bailey Conservatory where visitors could view the newly opened Victoria Lily among many other attractions.
