| The Mount Holyoke College Botanic
Garden includes a 6,000-square-foot glasshouse complex, a solar
greenhouse, a 250-acre collection of living woody and herbaceous
plants, and 550 acres of relatively undisturbed natural communities.
Built in 1899, the Talcott Greenhouse was given by James
Talcott of New York "for studying nature." A plant
laboratory addition, a gift of the Misses Wright, was dedicated
in 1980. The greenhouse was renovated in 1997.

With a living collection of plants from around
the world, the Talcott Greenhouse is a valuable teaching resource
that also supports faculty and student plant research.
