If you are a fan of Monet, botanical gardens, or just need an afternoon of peace and quiet, there is a great reason to head to the Bronx. The Conservatory at the NY Botanical Garden is featuring a show that embodies the style and elegance of Monet’s work in his Giverny gardens. The outdoor ponds are filled with spectacular water lilies. The Conservatory is filled with a display of flowers so reminiscent of Monet’s paintings, you feel as if you are part of the painting. The green Japanese bridge stands in the center hall of the Conservatory. It is peaceful, beautiful, and well worth the visit.
