The
New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx is 250 acres of dazzling
beauty and hands-on fun. From the newly-restored Enid A. Haupt
Conservatory with an eco-tour of the world under glass, to the new
Everett Childrens Adventure Garden where kids explore nature
and plant science, to 48 magnificent gardens and plant
collections, the Garden is alive with discovery.
A
National Historic Landmark, the 250-acre grounds of The New York
Botanical Garden include dramatic rock outcroppings, wetlands,
ponds, a cascading waterfall, and a 40-acre tract of the original
forest that once covered New York City. Among the horticultural
attractions are 48 gardens and plant collections, including the
Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden, the Rock Garden, and the Jane
Watson Irwin Perennial Garden, as well as outstanding collections
of daylilies, orchids, hardy ferns, flowering trees, conifers, and
cherry trees.
