The Garden 2050 Master Plan exemplifies a commitment to accessibility, scientific discovery, sustainability, decarbonization, and ecological and horticultural stewardship. The plan is a bold initiative to comprehensively design the 250-acre institution’s future, while respecting and preserving its storied past. The Garden is a multifaceted cultural landscape destination for over 1.3 million annual visitors. The plan redresses pedestrian and transit access impaired by Robert Moses era infrastructure, introducing visitors to hidden ecological landscapes along a rare natural stretch of the Bronx River, and establishing NYBG as a leader of biodiversity and decarbonization among large cultural institutions.
