In Connecticut, the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology greenhouses on the main campus of the University of Connecticut at Storrs are open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Note that they are closed weekends and most state holidays.
Logee's greenhouse in Danielson, Conn., is world famous for their tropical plants - including a Ponderosa lemon tree - and what an oasis for all who love to grow, especially this time of year.
