The Bronx Is Blooming At The New York Botanical Garden

This week I decided to take a quick trip to check out all the cherry blossoms and various trees, as well flowers that were blooming at The New York Botanical Garden and I surely wasn’t disappointed.

I ended up spending a good 4 hours at the garden just walking around and enjoying the sights of the lush, green grass and the trees either in almost full bloom or starting to do so.

With weekend temps in the 60’s and mostly clear skies, it’s going to be a perfect time to head over to NYBG and enjoy the various areas of the garden, including Cherry Valley which is just exploding with beautiful blossoms.

Below are some pictures of what the garden looked like on Tuesday and after the warmth and rain since then, I can only imagine the splendor this weekend so make sure you head on over there before the blooms are gone!

Oh and we’re less than a month away from the Frida Kahlo exhibition at the garden!

Magnificent blooms fill the air with a delicate fragrance.

Isn’t the conservatory just splendid?
