Why you should go…
Founded in 1891, the New York Botanical Garden spreads across 250 acres of the Bronx with more than one million living plants. The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, a Victorian-era glasshouse by Lord & Burnham completed in 1902, anchors the grounds. You can also walk the Thain Family Forest, 50 acres of never-logged woodland that is the largest remnant of the forest that once covered New York City. The garden is a National Historic Landmark.
