SMITH COLLEGE COVID-19 INFORMATION
All campus buildings, including the Lyman Plant House and Conservatory, are closed to the public until further notice. The outdoor gardens and Arboretum are open daily. Face coverings are required at all times on campus. No public restrooms available.
The Botanic Garden is a great place to visit through the seasons. Winter offers an escape to an indoor tropical paradise in the Lyman Conservatory. Spring comes to life with our Bulb Show, and the Rock Garden peaks in March, April and May. Capen Garden features a dazzling spring tulip display followed by the spectacular rose arbor. Other outdoor gardens around campus are in full bloom throughout summer. The campus arboretum collection lights up with fall color and the Fall Chrysanthemum Show gives a new meaning to both autumn and chrysanthemums.
Be sure to stop in the Lyman Plant House for garden maps and brochures, member information, and listings of special events and exhibits. Don't miss the exhibitions on display in the Church Gallery, the plant evolution mural, and the Woods of the World display, all at the Lyman Plant House.
