The New Native Plant Garden -
New York Botanical Garden
Bronx, NY

The new Native Garden at the New York Botanical Garden has been selected as a pilot project for the Sustainable Sites Initiative conceived by the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and the United States Botanic Garden. The project, under the direction of OvS principal Sheila Brady, will culminate in a display garden showcasing native plants of the Northeast region, including a wide spectrum of habitat and microclimate. To quote Todd Forrest, Vice President for Horticulture and Living Systems at the New York Botanical Garden, in his April, 2009 article for Public Garden, this will be "a new kind of native plant garden, one that distills the beauty of the region's natural landscapes rather than simply attempting to replicate them."
