Highlights

This garden is a centerpiece of Cornell Botanic Gardens' native plant education program, known for its exceptional diversity of early spring blooming wildflowers such as skunk cabbage, trout lily, marsh marigold, and trillium that take advantage of the spring sunlight before the trees get their leaves. There are more than 200 plant labels throughout the garden as well as photos with up-to-date lists of the season's flowering plants near the garden entrance.

Entrance

There are entrances to the trail on Judd Falls Road and on Forest Home Drive. Note: the Judd Falls Road entrance features a moderately steep staircase.
