Cutler Botanic Garden

Cutler Botanic Garden is a botanical garden in Binghamton featuring multiple sections dedicated to different plant types including perennials, rock gardens, and native species. The layout displays how various garden styles can grow side by side on the grounds.

Frances Cutler donated the land to Cornell University Cooperative Extension, leading to the garden's establishment and public opening in 1979. This donation established a foundation for continued community use of the site.

The garden serves as a community meeting place where volunteers openly share their plant knowledge with visitors throughout the year. Local gardeners use the space to learn techniques and exchange experiences with one another.

The garden is located on Front Street near Interstate 81 and is open daily from dawn to dusk without entrance fees. Free access makes it easy to visit spontaneously or return frequently throughout the year.

The garden belongs to a select group of approximately 360 gardens across the United States designated as display gardens for All-American plant selections. This recognition allows visitors to see newer plant varieties before they reach retail garden centers.
