A Retreat in the Middle of ManhattanBegun in 1898 as a glass greenhouse this Manhattan garden has since been turned into a 6 acre garden in three distinct styles. Italian, French and English garden styles are evident in the many shaded walkways and burbling fountains that will calm and refresh you in this Manhattan garden.
Smellong of magnolia and lilac in the spring, the English' garden's central feature is the large statuary fountain memorializing Frances Hodgson Burnett. The French garden is a delightful place to relax with its pansies and tulips scenting the air. A tall fountain, large lawn and wisteria pergola mark the Italian garden and make it a good place for photography. Conservatory Garden in Manhattan is open from 8am to dusk.
