Since the nineteen-thirties, the New York Botanical Garden, in the Bronx, has dedicated three and a half acres to its Native Plant Garden (pictured here in early November). Redesigned in 2013, it’s home to some hundred thousand species of trees, ferns, shrubs, wildflowers, and grasses, all indigenous to the Northeast. Meadows, woodlands, wetlands, and glades surround a crescent-shaped pool of recycled rainwater, purified with the help of aquatic plants—an urban refuge for which to give thanks. Advance tickets are required.
