Editorial Review for New York Botanical Garden – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
At 250 sprawling acres, this national landmark in the northern half of Bronx Park contains 16 gardens, a cascading waterfall and the historic Snuff Mill. Home to the country's largest Victorian greenhouse, the garden also houses the International Plant Science Center where botanical research has been going on since 1891. An array of special events spans from the Tulip Festival to free Sunday afternoon concerts in summer.
