The New York Botanical Garden is a historic landmark that was built in 1891. The garden is located in the Bronx, a borough of New York City. This "museum of plants" is not only a beautiful place to spend an afternoon stroll, it's also an education and research facility.

The garden boasts 250-acres, 1 million plant varieties and 50 curated garden displays. If you'd like to get a sneak peek of just a couple views of the garden, check out the gallery below or head to the The New Botanical Garden's website here.
