Happy Fall! Outdoor gardens are open. Global Flora currently open to campus only.
Our outdoor gardens are open to the public! There is still active construction around the Science Center, impacting garden areas. Some paths are closed and water features are not active yet. The Wellesley College community can access Global Flora with card swipe on Tuesdays through Fridays, 12-4pm, except holidays. We expect to open these same hours for public visitors starting Friday, November 11, 2022.
