The Plant Biology Greenhouses are housed in the Botanical Research Building (#96 on campus map). The 4,576 square-foot greenhouse and 1,250 square-foot headhouse and storage area were erected in 1972, with the adjacent 1-acre garden starting in 1979. The mission of the greenhouse and instructional garden is to provide a plant collection that serves the interest of Environmental & Plant Biology.

Associated with the greenhouse is the Bartley Herbarium, which has over 40,000 preserved specimens of vascular plants and 1,000 bryophytes.
