Reviews
"I have loved this greenhouse since the first time I visited, as a freshman (yes, long enough ago that MHC still had freshmen). It is still relaxing, welcoming and beautiful. Was thrilled to find out that new students still get plants. The staff are always willing to chat. Open to the public, free, but donations are welcome."
"The spring time bulb show was such a treat to see gorgeous flowers as we slowly leave the winter season. Highly recommend this yearly event."
"SO stunning, especially at the annual show!!! I really hope they can increase their funding/team to make the show as incredible as it has been in previous years, as it has been downscaling gradually due to no fault of their own."
"Amazing display of in-flower spring and early summer bulbs and perennials, daffodils, tulips galore. All brought on to perfection by friendly and extremely knowledgeable greenhouse staff. Not to be missed!"
"Signs of Spring, bulbs being forced. Beautiful displays. 5 different areas/rooms to see. Lovely!"
