Giving each new student a plant has been a well-loved tradition for more than 50 years!

We welcome you to pick out your “New-student Plant” during the above times at the Botanic Garden's Talcott Greenhouse. This is for all students who are joining Mount Holyoke for the first time (first-year students, transfer students, and Frances Perkins scholars).

Staff will be available for questions on plant care and information about what we do at the greenhouse and how students may get involved. We invite you to explore and complete our Botanic Garden Scavenger Hunt activity!
