The New York Botanical Garden is a National Historic Landmark located in the Bronx, New York. The 250-acre site’s verdant landscape supports over one million living plants in extensive collections. The conservatory, an architectural gem, is a magnificent glasshouse with galleries featuring aquatic plants and vines, lush tropical rain forests, cactus-filled deserts, and many other natural habitats. We’ll enjoy a guided tram tour of the garden with a particular focus on the Van Gogh’s Flowers. Revel in the beauty of the flowers that inspired his iconic paintings as you immerse yourself in the botanical displays and large-scale art. There will be free time to wander through the breathtaking lawn of monumental sunflowers and view the expressive masterpieces bloom in recreations made of living flowers throughout the grounds and conservatory. Enjoy lunch on our own in one of the garden’s cafes.
