A Woodland World in the City

The Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden combines three of my favorite things: nature, art deco conservatories, and G scale model trains.







The scale replicas of New York City buildings were jewels nestled into the hothouse plants. A truly enchanting afternoon.

  2. I always loved how the tracks weave through the different rooms of the greenhouse. NYBG has been one of my favorite places since I was a child. Beautiful photos!

  6. Those buildings are charming!!! Definitely puts our 'train museum's' model buildings in their place--they are cute, but not enchanting.
