Conservatory Garden on 5th Avenue and 105th Street

Mo “Another wonderful day in Central Park.”






Sa “Yes it was a beautiful day in the park. But we also got to discover a small treasure in the park at 5th Avenue and 105th street.”

Mo “Treasure?”

Sa “Yes the hidden treasure of the Conservatory Garden.”





Mo "What a garden? Treasure? Mmmmmm I guess we always spend time in with the flowers and stuff. Also we find cool things sometimes. But I thought we went to the english garden?"



Sa “That is what some locals call it however it is actually called the Conservatory garden.”

Mo “Oh so the English garden and the conservatory garden are the same thing.”


 Sa “That’s true. Let us start where many people like to enter the Vanderbilt Gate. Which formerly served as an entrance to the Vanderbilt mansion.”

Mo “That was a really big gate.”



Sa “Indeed. Once inside people can walk through the magnolia and lilac trees of the English garden."

Mo “There it is that is why people call it the English garden!”

 Sa “Let’s not interrupt.”

Mo “If I don’t interrupt sometimes I don’t get to say nothing.”

Sa “Alright well what did you want to add.”

Mo “Ummm. Hot dogs?”

Sa “That is why I do most of the talking.”

Mo “Alright teach me some more about the garden.”

Sa “OK. Well there you can stop and admire the statue by sculptor Bessie Potter Vonnoh's the lovely Frances Hodgeson Burnett Memorial Fountain, a tribute to the author of the children's book, The Secret Garden. The children a girl and a boy, said to depict Mary and Dickon, the main characters from the classic book stand at one end of a small water lily pool.”

Mo “That is the one with the boy playing the flute.”












Sa “That is good. To continue north lies the Italian garden, featuring crabapple and yew trees in addition to a large fountain and a wisteria pergola.”













Sa “In addition, the French garden offers spring tulips in abundance.”
 
Mo “That was all very interesting but one of these times we need to talk more about hot dogs.”

Sa “Agreed one of these times you can talk about some of the food places.”

Mo “Yes”
