The New York Botanical Garden

This beautiful 250-acre oasis in the middle of New York City and a National Historic Landmark has been a retreat for new Yorkers since the 1890s. The Garden is home to encyclopedic collections of more than one million plants including 30,000 magnificent trees, thousands of them over a century old.

One of the garden’s paramount goals is to lead in the documentation of every plant and fungal species on earth. Isn’t it a noble and admirable goal?
