Please Note:

Due to staffing constraints, we are unable to answer general questions regarding plant care, locating sources of plant materials or diagnosis of plant ailments by phone, mail or email. We will be glad to answer such questions from patrons visiting our facility if time permits.

We are strictly a teaching and research greenhouse facility and are not involved in the production or retail sales of plant materials.

We welcome inquiries about our facility (tours, visting etc) and will also make material available, at our discretion, to bona fide teaching and research greenhouse facilities.

General Horticulture Questions should be directed to your local Cooperative Extension office or its equivalent.

Connecticut residents should contact the Connecticut Cooperative Extension Service .
