Nevin Welcome Center

Welcome to the Liberty Hyde Bailey Loop! This walking path connects the Cornell Botanic Gardens with the rest of campus, where you will see how plants and people have come together within campus gardens. Named after renowned botanist and founder of Cornell’s College of Agriculture, the route is a living tribute to Liberty Hyde Bailey’s holistic approach to teaching, and a reminder that the outdoors are an excellent classroom.

Surrounded by specialty gardens, the Nevin Welcome Center is your entryway to exploring the Cornell Botanic Gardens. Here you will find a reception desk, maps of the grounds, art displays, and interpretive exhibits highlighting the deep connections between plants and people.
