Cornell Botanic Gardens Tour of Chinese and Asian Plants

This guided outdoor stroll explored different areas of the garden to highlight several plants endemic to China and eastern Asia. The twenty attendees discovered the importance of trees and garden plants in East Asian culture, and the group learned about plans to develop an Asian Summer Garden to showcase tree and herbaceous peonies and other plants native to China, Japan, and Korea. This event, led by garden guides, was co-organized by the Cornell Botanic Gardens, the Cornell China Center, and the Einaudi Center for International Studies' East Asia Program.
