Great Grass and Glass in the Bronx: The New York Botanical Garden and Chihuly
Most suburban drugs dealers know to go to the Bronx for the best grass. Yet, most suburbanites don't know the grass is greener in the Bronx too. The New York Botanical Garden is an oasis of green well-groomed trees, natural pathways and water spots that rivals any art man can hope to create. Dale Chihuly's current exhibit among the lush vibrant 250 acres of this Bronx euphoric setting places many sculptures in the landscape and many in the to-die-for 1889 glass conservatory and other buildings. Can man made art compete with nature's creator?
