Morning Eye Candy: The Azalea Garden in Yellow
Posted in Photography on November 21 2010, by Plant Talk
It’s an Azalea Garden of another color: Yellow. No, we’re not genetically engineering plants here at the Garden, we’re just planting for year round color. This new garden won’t open to the public until next Spring, but we’re hoping this beautiful image will entice you to come visit the Azalea Garden both when it opens and a year from now!

My nephews, like millions of other peoples’ nephews, are obsessed with trains. Obviously, I cannot wait to bring them here to the Garden this year for the Holiday Train Show, and I’m promising them a full-on train adventure.
It’s Official: The Holidays Are Here!

Sure, we know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet (somebody better tell Ms. Turkey here to go into hiding for the next few days), but that doesn’t mean we can’t start getting festive here at The New York Botanical Garden!
Friday marks the unofficial start of the season here at the Botanical Gardens when members are invited to take a sneak peek at the amazing Holiday Train Show.

One Step Closer to A New Native Plant Garden
Posted in Around the Garden on November 17 2010, by Plant Talk
| Travis Beck, Landscape and Gardens Project Manager, The New York Botanical Garden |
Native plants have always been at the heart of The New York Botanical Garden. The site where the Garden now sits was, in large part, chosen by founding director Nathaniel L. Britton in 1895 because of the site’s 50-acre old growth Forest and its vibrant population of native plants. Britton‘s wife Elizabeth was a passionate advocate for native plants and a founding member of the Wildflower Society, one of the earliest groups dedicated to the conservation of the native plants of North America.
The new Native Plant Garden reached a milestone today. Learn more below.
