A SPECTACULAR ORCHID GARDEN
What is The Orchid Show and why do you have to visit it? If you are in New York or planning a trip for this spring, you cannot miss one of the most beautiful spaces. The New York Botanical Garden has been in the Bronx since 1891; and with more than 250 hectares -the largest in the US- it is considered a National Monument. Its mission, that of a museum of living plants, goes beyond conservation -with 30,000 trees, some of them centenarians-, because it also serves as community cohesion.
this time The Orchid Show with 'Kaleidoscope', it will present a colorful exhibition imitating a kaleidoscope, with artistic forms, tunnels and tubes full of orchids of all colors.
“Leatham worked with NYBG horticulturists to assemble orchids from their collections as well as from some of the best growers in the world. Orchids of all imaginable shapes and origins , including rare and iconic specimens, are displayed in stunning settings.
