The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG), founded in 1891, is characterized by the elegance of its scenery, collections, and parks and the depth and excellence of its horticultural, educational, and scientific programs. The Garden was inspired by The Royal Botanic Gardens near London by botanists Nathaniel and Elizabeth Lord Britton in 1888.
The Brittons thought New York should have a great botanical garden to help provide educational resources and interests in plants' knowledge, rare species, and as a hub for deeper research into botanical science. The Garden was located in the northern half of Bronx Park because of its spectacular views, freshwater Bronx River, rock-cut canyon, and 50 acres of existing woodland.
Today, with over 250-acres of Garden, it holds its place as the largest Botanical Garden in the United States and is marked as a National Historic Landmark.
