The New York Botanical Garden s natural features rolling hills punctuated by rock outcroppings, an old-growth forest, the dramatic gorge of the Bronx River were incorporated into its original design and they have been celebrated throughout its 130-year history, creating a tapestry of gardens and plant collections that blend seamlessly with the incredible landscape. Today, NYBG embodies the principles of sustainable horticulture, and Gardening with Nature demonstrates their application in multiple gardens, most compellingly in the Azalea Garden, where more than 3,500 specimens thrive amid dramatic rocks, shaded by ancient native trees and complemented by woodland perennials, bulbs, ferns, and sedges.
