New Peony & Perennial Gardens

Designed with meandering pathways that reflect the topography of the site, the new gardens will showcase Cornell Plantations’ beloved and much-missed peony collection.

Since they were removed for the Nevin Center construction project, the peonies have been carefully tended at our Plant Production Facility. In the meantime, our horticulture director has been acquiring new specimens to enhance the original American Peony Society collection given by Marjorie Cornell, class of 1939. The gardens will also include many other perennials, shrubs, and small-statured trees that will provide color, texture, and interest throughout the growing season.
