This garden was recommended to me by a true blue New Yorker as one of their favourite spots in the city ....and i now know why. The sun was shining the birds were singing and the atmosphere in the garden early in the morning was just beautiful. There were birdwatchers everywhere and i overheard the word migration a few times... More

Every visitor to NYC has to visit the Conservatory Gardens of Central Park, Located at 105th Street and 5th Avenue this has to be one of the most beautiful spots in Manhattan. Best time to visit is between April and October although beauty can be found in the winter months as well. Be sure to visit the three fountains located... More

I have been at the Conservatory Garden in the blistering heat of summer, and I have been there in the deep of winter when everything was crusted in snow and ice, and I have been there for all kinds of weather and seasons in between. It is a beautiful place, sculpted and well-kept but not overly so - it is... More

the Conservatory Garden would be my favorite place to relax and escape the daily life. The garden has such a wide-array of beautiful flowers. It's truly an amazing little oasis amidst a big city.

I go a few times a month. It's a great oasis in the city, lots of plants and flowers. The plantings change with the seasons, so it seems that something is always in bloom. Go during the spring to see the trees blossom, and the tulips. I especially like that there are lots of benches, and little hidden corners, so... More

I was fortunate to visit the Conservatory Gardens during the spring time when the tulips were in full bloom. I could smell the sweet aroma of the magnolia trees before entering the gardens. There were glorious tulip blooms of various shapes and colors. A little piece of NYC history could be glanced from the restored Vanderbilt gates at the main... More

My walk through Central Park's Conservatory Garden put a smile on my face. Spring flowers were in bloom and the gorgeous pink and white of the (cherry?) trees formed a beautiful canopy. I couldn't stop taking pictures! I wish I could have stayed longer.
