*Cornell Plantations Seeks Help Selecting Butterfly Bushes *
*Ithaca**, NY* – Cornell Plantations’ beautiful butterfly bushes are ready to burst into bloom! Come visit Plantations anytime between now and mid-September to enjoy a display of new butterfly bush cultivars, which could be the next ones on the market. Plant breeders at Cornell would like visitors’ opinions on which cultivars they like best and would most likely purchase at a garden center. In return for taking the time to vote, you will receive a 10% discount on your next purchase at Plantations’ Garden Gift Shop.
The butterfly bush display bed is located in the F.R. Newman Arboretum, next to the Sculpture Garden and directly across from the Houston Pond parking lot. For more information, please contact Sarah Fiorello at (607) 255-7558, or via email at sjh16@cornell.edu.
Cornell Plantations is the arboretum, botanical garden, and natural areas of Cornell University, and is a member of Ithaca’s Discovery Trail partnership (www.discoverytrail.com ). Plantations is open free of charge to the public during daylight hours. Drop-in tours, featuring seasonal garden highlights, take place throughout the summer; lectures, classes, and events are held throughout the year.
