Most of the Biology and Botany greenhouse and related facilities at the University of Texas at Austin come under the auspices of the School of Biological Sciences. The facilities function to provide an environment for a wide range of plant families that are used by undergraduate biology classes and labs, primarily for systematics, plant evolution, and plant physiology labs, and to provide controlled environments for graduate, post graduate, and faculty research. Native plant beds are used by native plant Biology classes, entomology classes, as well as ecology classes within the Geography Department. The undergraduate facilities are also occasionally used for outreach science programs for local school system tours and more rarely, local garden clubs.
