The Botanic Garden of Smith College is a beautiful place to visit when in Northampton. Located on the historic campus of Smith College, a private liberal arts women's college, the botanical gardens feature indoor and outdoor exhibits that are open to the public. The outdoor sections of the garden features the Systematics Garden and Perennial Border gardens where beds are arranged according to evolutionary relationships, which facilitate learning for the students. There is also a Rock Garden which features 2,000 alpine, dwarf, and woodland plants. Adjacent to these outdoor gardens is the Lyman Plant House, a magnificent greenhouse that was built in 1895 and houses rare plants in several sub-houses and sections.
