About the New York Botanical Garden

The New York Botanical Garden opened in 1891 and is now a 250-acre National Historic Landmark in the Bronx. It's a public garden and a working research institution at the same time, with more than a million living plants across 50 specialty gardens and collections.

The Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, a Victorian-style glasshouse completed in 1902, holds rainforest and desert galleries under one roof. Outside, the 50-acre Thain Family Forest is the largest uncut stretch of the woodland that once covered New York, with the Bronx River running through it.

Away from the public paths, the William and Lynda Steere Herbarium holds about 7.8 million plant specimens, the biggest collection of its kind in the Western Hemisphere.

Why Visit the New York Botanical Garden?

Seasonal Exhibitions

The Orchid Show opens the year in late winter, and the Holiday Train Show closes it. In between there are outdoor art and garden exhibitions, so the Garden looks different almost every time you come back.

The Haupt Conservatory

You can walk from humid rainforest to dry desert without leaving the building. The Conservatory also hosts the Garden's two biggest indoor shows.

Old-Growth Forest in the City

Trails through the Thain Family Forest pass trees dating back to the American Revolution. It's the quietest part of the Garden and easy to forget you're in the city.

Something in Bloom Most of the Year

Cherry trees peak in April, the Rose Garden flowers from May to October, and the Rock Garden is open from April to November.
