New York City Gardens
As Spring comes to NYC, there is no better place to celebrate the seasons than by visiting one of the wonderful gardens scattered throughout the city. Here are our favorites (listed in no particular order):
- Wave Hill - this Bronx garden encompasses spectacular views overlooking the Hudson River, the Palisades and a number of historic mansions.
- Brooklyn Botanical Garden - be sure to see the peaceful Japanese Garden, the tropical Conservatory, and the Shakespeare Garden (planted with flora mentioned in the playwright's plays and poems).
- New York Botanical Garden - we love the daffodil displays now and the rhododendron blooms and the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden a little later in the season. Don't miss the colorful, imaginative rock garden and be prepared to do a lot of walking.
- Central Park's Conservatory Garden - tucked away behind wrought iron gates that once graced the entrance to the Vanderbilt mansion are six acres of horticultural magnificence.
