The
Collections
47 gardens and plant collections (such
as daylilies, herbs, native plants, perennials, alpine plants, roses,
annuals, magnolias, and tulips, as well as thousands of shrubs and
trees)
Tree
and Shrub Collections
40-acres of the Forest that once covered
all of New York
The
Enid A. Haupt Conservatory,
itself a New York City landmark and the nation’s most beautiful
Victorian glasshouse. It features the permanent exhibition A World
of Plants.
The
Everett Children’s Adventure Garden
12-acre indoor/outdoor living museum of nature discovery with 40
interactive activities including three outdoor mazes, giant topiaries,
and the Mitsubishi Wild Wetland Trail. In the Ruth Rea Howell Family
Garden kids are the gardeners, planting, weeding, watering, pushing
wheelbarrows of plants to the compost bins, feeding the earthworms,
harvesting crops, doing nature crafts, exploring pond life, and
much more.
Inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, kids become explorers with
Adventures for Plant Hunters. This colorful cartoon guide leads
them throughout the biomes of the Conservatory in search of plants
that the dinosaurs ate, plants that give us medicines, plants that
we use to make chocolate and coffee. |
