Visitors to Cornell Botanic Gardens can now experience the beauty and cultural richness of the gardens, arboretum, and natural areas in more languages. Cornell Botanic Gardens has expanded its self-guided tours to Spanish and Mandarin to bring understanding of plants and cultures to broader audiences.
Self-guided tours help visitors explore the living landscapes of Cornell University through immersive walking experiences within Cornell Botanic Gardens’ cultivated gardens, arboretum, gorges, and other natural spaces, all of which define the iconic natural beauty of the Cornell campus. Visitors scan a QR code to access a web-based Garden Guide; or they can look for signs in the gardens around the Nevin Welcome Center and F.R. Newman Arboretum that provide a number to call to listen to a short audio narrative at each location. When users first access either the web-based guide or dial-in narratives, they are prompted to select one of the three available languages.
