A World of Pollination Strategies: Conservatory tour to celebrate Darwin Days

Sunday, February 9, 2020 at 2:00pm to 3:00pm

Liberty Hyde Bailey Conservatory 236 Tower Road, Ithaca NY

As part of the Paleontological Research Institution's  celebration of Darwin Days, join Dr. Robert Raguso for a tour of the Liberty Hyde Bailey Conservatory, 236 Tower Road on the Cornell University campus Sunday, February 9 from 2 to 3 p.m.

Raguso is a professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior. He is an expert on plant-insect interactions and will share the amazing stories of how Conservatory plants reward (or sometimes trick or deceive) insects to get them to distribute pollen from flower to flower to help perpetuate the species.

The conservatory houses one of several plant collections that make up the Liberty Hyde Bailey Hortorium in the Plant Biology Section of the School of Integrative Plant Science, and is maintained by the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station. It is the home of Cornell’s Titan arums. Weekend parking is available nearby in the parking lot south of Tower Road.
