The Art Of Native Plant Gardening – The 3.5-acre Native Plant Garden celebrates the beauty of plants native to northeastern North America. Nearly 100,000 native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, ferns and grasses were planted in a carefully planned contemporary design that harmonizes with the natural landscape.
Located in Bronx Park, in the shadow of the New York City skyline, the garden includes over 450 taxa, 86 plant families and 192 genera. The ridge, the meadow, the body of water and the old forest are shown.
