New York City has lush botanical gardens that inspire horticulture enthusiasts. They teach avid gardeners many things about plants, including identifying, displaying, and using them for different purposes. Here are some of New York City’s most popular botanical gardens:
1. New York Botanical Garden
Recognized as a National Historic Landmark and the largest botanical garden in any US city, the New York Botanical Garden features more than 1 million plants and 30,000 trees in its 250-acre property. It has more than 50 specialty gardens. New York Botanical Garden offers classes that cater to all levels of gardeners.
2. Brooklyn Botanical Garden
The Brooklyn Botanical Garden is an easily accessible green space within the highly urbanized New York City. It has more than a dozen specialty gardens such as the Discovery Garden, a Japanese zen garden, and a Shakespeare Garden that exhibits some of the plants mentioned in William Shakespeare’s plays and poems. It also maintains a conservatory that has three different controlled climates.
3. Queens Botanical Garden
Popularized by the tagline “Where people, plants, and culture meet,” the Queens Botanical Garden indeed celebrates people, plants, and culture through gardens that blend old and new concepts, innovative educational classes, and environmental stewardship. Its Sustainable Landscapes and Buildings Project allows the Queens Botanical Garden to maintain a roof garden, a parking garden, a compost garden, a cleansing biotope, and a fountain that re-uses rainwater.
