You don't have to leave Connecticut to catch a glimpse of some wild and beautiful plants and flowers. The warm greenhouse behind the Torrey Life Sciences Building on the  Storrs campus boasts a diverse collection that can be viewed by the public M - F, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The next guided tour is a Parent Orientation Tour that takes place on Friday, June 24 from 10:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. For more information on the greenhouses, visit UConn's Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Web site.
