Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour of the LuEsther T. Mertz Library, one of the world’s premier collections of botanical literature from throughout world history, and the largest such archive in the Western Hemisphere. The Mertz Library promotes the intelligent stewardship of the natural world by collecting and preserving works of merit in botany, horticulture, and landscape design.
Following the tour, connect with colleagues and enjoy the Wonderland: Curious Nature exhibition, explore the grounds, or find a spot to sit and chat with one another for a while. If you are interested in visiting the Conservatory or using the tram, those will require a paid ticket, but you are able to fully enjoy the grounds of the garden by foot.
Transportation: The Metro North is by far the easiest way to get to NYBG. The Botanical Garden stop on the Harlem line will let you off right across from the Mosholu gate, which is the closest entrance to the Library. Limited parking spaces will be available to attendees on a first-come, first-serve basis; please let us know at checkout if you will require parking.
Please note: Space is limited, so if you’ve secured a spot but then find you’re unable to join, please let us know so we can open your spot to someone on the waitlist.
