Mount Holyoke College Botanic Garden, Botanical garden at Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts.
The Talcott Greenhouse complex and surrounding gardens contain over 2,000 plant species from six continents, featuring tropical, subtropical, and temperate vegetation.
Professor Lydia Shattuck established this botanical garden in 1878, leading to the construction of the Talcott Greenhouse complex after a fire destroyed the original structure in 1896.
The garden maintains a tradition where first-year students receive plants to care for throughout their academic journey until graduation day.
Located at 50 College Street in South Hadley, Massachusetts, the garden offers year-round access to visitors interested in exploring its diverse plant collections.
The Virginia Craig Rhododendron Garden showcases native species from Eastern North America and Asia, complemented by the Heckel Staircase Garden with local Goshen stone steps.
