New York Botanical Garden

While visiting in New York,we went to the Botanical Garden.There is a vast collection of plants both in and out of the greenhouses.


This is the Haupt Conservatory, near the entrance.I think it’s mostly a library, that is still used for research.


A shot of the main public greenhouse.The entryway goes into a rain forest environment connected by a long tunnel which contains desert plants.

I’m somewhat interested in the Corpse flower plant and although there are some in other greenhouses(Google says they have 21 of the plants), none are blooming now.When they do, the plants get moved for public viewing.That happened last October.

Looks nice. Would you recommend it to someone visiting New York ?

Yes, the place is big,way too much acreage to see in a day.There are tram/wagons that cover a large part,that has a recorded voice that describes some of the features as they appear.
