DAYTRIPPING TO THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN: By Polly Guerin


As New York City slowly opens up people anxious to get out, after months of guarrantine, need only Day Trip it to The New York Botanical Garden, to reconnect with nature. The reopening of Outdoor Gardens and Collections marks a welcome general oublic.  The best way to get there is by public transportation and Metro North where 250 acres and one million plants await your pleasure to experience nature in all its glory.  New safety protocols in accordance with State of New York requirements wearing masks and social distancing.                                                                                                As the great outdoor adventurer John Burroughs wrote "I go to nature to be soothed and healed and to have my senses in order."                                                                                                                               NYBG is an urban oasis and integral part of he cultural fabri of New York City, located in the Bronx. The verdant landscape currently features a trove of vibrant daylilies, hydrangeas, water lilies, and lotuses among its one million plants. Take a leisurely stroll waking paths and trails that crisscross the Garden providing moments of discovery through nature.                                         As the French painter wrote "There are always flowers for those who want to see them."                                                                                                                                                          The  reopened gardens, outdoo collections and natural features include the Native Plant Garden  with its meadow , woodland promenade and centerpiece water feature, Bronx River with its waterfall which runs through the 50-acre Train family forest, layered and colorful patterns and plant group-ings of the Perennial and Herb Gardens, lushly shaded Chilton Azalea Garden, the award-winning Rockefeller Rose Garden, tropical and aquatic plant-filled Conservatory Courtyards and Pools, and so much more to enchant you and soothe your eyes by the glorious colors that have so much significance. As the color therapist's say: Red for life itself, green for healing, blue for spiritual growth, yellow for happiness and sunshine to name a few that remind us that the colors in nature are the perfect tonic to restore one's pent up feelings. As Albert Einstein wrote "Look deep into nature nd then you will understand everything."                                                                                                                The reopening incorporates enhanced safey measures including staff and visitors  over the age of two to wear face coverings and obseerve social distancing pratices; rewuiring time-entry tickets purchased in advance which will promote social distancing and mitigate the risk of crowding in high-traffic areas.

  2. The NY Botanical Gardens is very large so there is always something new to see especially with each new season. Spectacular variety of plants. Really breathtaking, if you love nature, you'll love this place. The price is not cheap but it's worth it.

  3. Life can be fun sometimes, one minute is beautiful and the next minute is completely different. My husband and I lived a very beautiful life before the unexpected chaos, a life without blemishes or mistrust, until we had no problems with the support of our children, he stopped paying and found an adventure outside flirting with his coveted matrimonial home. all I suffered. and for what I worked on an unnecessary pleasure, I felt this emptiness in me, I had no idea how to help me unite with him because he did not return home, stayed out late, drank, smoked, do all sorts of things he never did. But thanks to the man who brought joy with stability to my home, Dr. Egwali, a man of good works, is so real and accommodating for I have tried and had trust. Talk to him concerning what troubles you and you'll be glad that you did. WhatsApp or Viber +2348122948392 or by email dregwalispellbinder@gmail.com
