Education Central to Museum of Plants

The New York Botanical Garden is often described as a “museum of plants.� With 250 acres; 50 different gardens and plant collections; a preeminent Victorian-era conservatory that is a New York City Landmark; the largest herbarium in the Western Hemisphere, containing over 7 million specimens; and the most important botanical and horticultural library in the world, that might seem self-evident.
