A Visit to the Remarkable Enid A. Haupt Conservatory

Sharing is caring!

And finally I have gotten my act together enough, to bring you the third part of the New York Botanical Gardens.  This third installment is all about the remarkable Enid A. Haupt Conservatory.

​You may recall in previous photo essays we visited the New York Botanical Garden and the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden.

Walking towards the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, a Victorian style greenhouse that was restored a few years ago and contains plants and flowers from all over the world.  This alone is worth the trip to the New York Botanical Garden!

​I don’t know the names so if you do just let me know in the comments below.

By 1978 the building had fallen into disrepair and was due to be demolished for lack of money.  It was with the generous contribution of Enid Haupt that it was able to be repaired.  It was subsequently named after her.

​One of the side domes of the conservatory. The design is “C” shaped with 11 pavilions each displaying plants from different parts of the world. I have gone from tropical to arctic plants within the space of a few steps.  It is all climate controlled by a computer.

Each year the conservatory exhibits The Orchid Show and the Holiday Train Show. It is a major attraction for anyone visiting the New York Botanical Gardens.

This ends my three part series on the wonders of the New York Botanical Garden.  However if I should go back and discover more treasures, do not be surprised at a fourth installation.
