An Oasis in the Bronx
The Garden was founded in 1891 by botanist Nathaniel Lord Britton.
Today this National Historic Landmark is recognized for its
horticultural
excellence, educational programs, and scientific research. Situated on
250 acres in the Bronx, the northernmost borough of New York City, it
includes
27 outdoor gardens and plant collections, the nation's most beautiful
Victorian
conservatory, and a 40-acre pre-settlement forest. (Yes, right in the
heart
of the city!).
A Dynamic
Center for Biodiversity Research
The New York Botanical Garden has the largest herbarium
and botanical
library in the United States, world-class laboratories, and a staff
of some 150 in the Botanical Science Division, including 30 Ph.D.
