Talcott
Greenhouse Tour
Welcome to Talcott Greenhouse, Mount Holyoke College Botanic Garden's
glasshouse. The greenhouses were built over several years starting
around 1897, beginning with the Show House and Head House. A final
wing, featuring a tropical Conservatory, was finished in 1899 through
the funding of the Talcott Family. After almost 100 years of continuous
use, the greenhouse received much-needed renovations in the mid
1990's. Today, the Talcott Greenhouse displays a living collection
of plants from around the world, while supporting academic plant
research at Mount Holyoke and providing a valuable community resource.
