WELCOME BACK!
The greenhouses are now open to the public. The hours are 8:00am-4:00pm Monday-Friday and Saturday 10:00am-2:00pm (closed Sunday).
The EEB Greenhouse contains one of the most diverse teaching plant collections in the US.
This outstanding collection is a core unit of the
EEB Biodiversity Research & Education Collections
and is used extensively for teaching and research here at the University of Connecticut.
 
The Plant Collections are generally segregated into two groups - Research Collections (which are covered elsewhere) and the General
Collection which includes most of the diverse teaching materials our facility is noted for.
Each accession in the teaching collection has a corresponding web page on this site.
Primary means of accessing the collections data is by links on this page including taxonomic groups, geographic groups and special collections. A simple
Alphabetic List is also available if you know the name of the plant you are looking for.
