Though Bessey Hall’s greenhouse flies under many students’ radars, it contains a variety of colorful and unique plants sure to capture the attention of students from any major. Bessey Greenhouse, including the Richard W. Pohl Conservatory, is tended to by Greenhouse Manager Kenny McCabe. It’s an everyday deal; plants don’t care about holidays or vacations or anything like that.”From carnivorous plants to papayas, Bessey Greenhouse features a plethora of plants you won’t find natively in Iowa. “It is fun, though; we’ve got bananas, chocolate trees and occasionally you’ll see some pineapples.”The plants in the greenhouse serve several different purposes on campus. I always like to tell people it’s amazing when it’s 20 degrees below zero.”For more information about greenhouse hours or to schedule a guided tour, visit greenhouse.eeob.iastate.edu.
