New York Botanical Garden


New York Botanical Garden

A Brief Description

New York Botanicl Garden is located in Bronx, New York. It is a botanical garden that was created by married botanists. After visitn the Royal Botaniccal Garden in London, they wanted New York to have its own area displaying the immense beauty of plants. The 250 acre piece of land, includes a variety of plants, and the Bronx River. This adds a whole new level to the landscape. The river shows the natural beauty while the exotic plants bring a piece of different countries into New York. You can experience the landscape of many different countries, while staying in New York. There are desert plants, rainforests' vegetation, aquatic plants, and more. An oppurtunity to view such a huge variety of plants cannot be ignored or turned down. This is a must-see, especially if you are already in New York. This place is great year-round. Although it is indoors, you feel like you are in a different world. One that has nothing but the scent of flowers, the quiet silence, and the pleasant sight fot the eyes.

Things to Do

Although it may not seem like much to do, this place is an activity of its own. Most people prefer to explore by themselves, rather than have a tour guide. Either way, there are plenty of maps to show you around and signs to explain each plant. You can visit almost any part of the world. Visit the rainforest, where you will enter a humid atmosphere. See the graceful orchids, or the flat water lilies. During fall, see each leaf with its unique shade of brown, yellow, orange, and/or red. The path is littered with leaves of all colors. Depending on what season you come, yous ee different plants, but you will always see something new and beautiful.
