Gardens & Greenhouses • Museums • Observatories • Performance & Performance Facilities

Letters and Science Departments teaching and research programs encompass resources and facilities that extend far beyond the classroom and, in some cases, beyond the campus. These resources are open to the public and have become important elements of UW-Madison's community outreach and K-12 enrichment programs.

Gardens & Greenhouses
