Full of plants and knowledgeable people, this place is amazing. I wouldn't say it's a place you have to visit if visiting Cornell, but it isn't a let down and is beautiful.
What a variety of plants! What a beautiful setting! What a great guide my brother in law is! We try to visit every time we're in Ithaca.
Lovely, free, browse at your leisure garden. Great for kids- there's herbs, edibles, and more. They are welcome to touch/smell, etc. A nice, super shady arbor/tunnel runs along one side of the garden- great for a packed lunch, an easy stroll to Beebe lake should you want to walk around the lake. Majority of the garden has direct sunlight and no shade-bring a hat/shades/etc. Restrooms in the visitor center. Gift shop too. Out door patio seating also there. It's a drive to get to the lily ponds. Free parking.
The gardens were beautiful and it smelled wonderful. The gift shop also had very cute planters and gardening related however they were a bit pricey. I will definitely go again to explore more because there are multiple different gardens including an herb garden.
It's a very beautiful garden, if you visit Cornell you should also visit this garden.
