The NYBG has been a connective hub among people, plants, and the planet since 1891. Rooted in the cultural fabric of New York City, in the heart of the Bronx - its greenest borough. For more than 130 years, millions of visitors have made the Garden a part of their lives, exploring the joy, beauty, and respite of nature. NYBG's 250 acres are home to renowned exhibitions, immersive botanical experiences, art and music, and events with some of the most influential figures in plant and fungal science, horticulture, and the humanities.
