On June 23rd at 11am The Connecticut Orchid Society is Touring the UConn Greenhouses
The University of Connecticut will be
hosting members of the COS for a private
tour of the University greenhouses. The
tour will start at 11 AM at the Torrey Life
Sciences Building on the UConn campus in
Storrs. The Society has developed a close
relationship with the University of
Connecticut over the years and is
privileged to be offered this private tour.
The UConn greenhouses contain a diverse
and well regarded orchid collection
focused on species as well as a diverse
collection of non-orchids.
RSVP by Friday 22nd of June to Cheryl Mizak at president@ctorchids.org
Directions to UConn Greenhouses
We will be met at the North Parking Garage and
walk from there. Parking in the ground lot just
beyond the garage is also acceptable, because
they don’t enforce parking on weekends.
Coming in from Rt 44, take the Discovery Drive
entrance to campus, which is just west of the
intersection of 195. Follow Discovery Drive to
the light. Proceed straight across: visitors center
is to the right, parking garage is to the left. The
ground lot is on right just past visitor’s center.
