Tucked within the Marye Anne Fox University Student Teaching Labs greenhouse complex at NC State, a biological bridge spans the gap between the humid tropics and the parched desert. Known as the Plant Conservatory, this dual-climate facility houses rainforest and arid plant collections that serve as much more than just a scenic backdrop for the campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As NC State prepares for its annual Day of Giving on March 25, 2026, the Department of Horticultural Science<\/a> is highlighting the Plant Conservatory\u2019s role as a cornerstone of experiential learning. Support of the Horticultural Science Enrichment Fund<\/a> on Day of Giving ensures the Plant Conservatory can maintain its diverse plant collection, respond to unique educational opportunities, and manage unforeseen challenges within its complex ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
