The New York Botanical Garden is a cultural and scientific institution located in the Bronx, New York, spanning 250 acres. Founded in 1891, it has connected people with plants and the planet through exhibitions, immersive botanical experiences, and cultural programming that includes art and music. It safeguards globally significant research collections, including the LuEsther T. Mertz Library and the Steere Herbarium, the largest collection of plant and fungal specimens in the Western Hemisphere. Its audience includes visitors, students, researchers, and the broader community, with education on environmental stewardship and healthy eating. In 2025, NYBG convened the scientific community during Climate Week NYC and COP30 and launched the Global Conservation Consortium for Food Plants, reflecting its role in global conservation efforts.
