Located in the Bronx, lies a 250-acre sanctuary of verdant landscape supporting over one million living plants. The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) is a national historic landmark housing an impressive diversity of tropical, temperate and desert flora, as well as programmes that range from exhibitions in the Haupt Conservatory to festivals on Daffodil Hill. It is also a major educational institution with 50 different gardens and plant collections.

Highlights include the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden, an exotic Japanese rock garden, the Herb Garden and the 1890s vintage, wrought iron framed, crystal-palace style greenhouse. Step back in time to the 17th century in the Garden’s old forest that was never logged. Untouched before the arrival of European settlers, marvel at the American beeches, cherry, birch and white ash trees. Indulge in the luxuriant tropical rainforests, cactus-filled deserts, carnivorous plants and more.
