Welcome!

The UConn Botanical Conservatory houses one of the most diverse academic collections of living plants under glass in the United States.  

Our work supports cutting-edge research and provides a portal into living biodiversity for our community members. We awaken awe and promote the understanding that the future of humans is intimately tied to the health of plants, both wild and cultivated.
