Tour BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN'S Tropical Conservatory - Ep. 357

I've been in Brooklyn for half my life now-and I have not filmed at the ‪@BrooklynBotanicGardenOfficial‬ - until now. I met up with Director of Horticulture, Shauna Moore, to tour their tropical conservatory, which was a welcome stroll during the cool winter day.

“You can never have a big enough greenhouse.” Lol, that should be on a t-shirt.

Thanks for another trip through paradise, Summer. As always, enjoyable, interesting, and informative.

@7:42 _Glycosmis pentaphylla_ is indeed an edible member of the Rutaceae, closely related to _Citrus_ spp. _Glycosmis trifoliata_ grows in the tropical and subtropical rainforests of northern Australia, and (I can say from experience) tastes like orange marmalade when ripe. Just bite carefully and spit the bitter seed.

I remember visiting BBG weekly when I was growing up in NYC. That "muscular" Tabernaemontana was a bush when I was last there. I remember they often hard pruned it and it looked terrible to me but it looks like all that hard pruning served to give it the "muscular-looking" trunk that it now has. I've been living in Coastal South Florida for a number of years now where many of these "exotic" plants are very common in landscapes or private collections.

Your presentation makes it all the more beautiful the garden already is. Would love to visit this garden in my next visit to NYC. Thanks for sharing, Love watching your videos :) so entertaining and informative!

[@timgarner1957]

BBG is awesome.. love the tours of conservatories ! Love to see you published a tabletop book of plants . Especially of the tropical plants. Thanks for another great episode I tell everyone I know about your KZbin channels .

[@Neilhuny]

I have to highlight the Mangifera indica at 9:57 - it is always good (I think) to see our tropical food plants that so many of us buy in the supermarket or grocery store and happily eat the fruit of (or roots, shoots ... ) but have no idea what the plant looks like . In this case it is the mango. And cardamom follows ...

[@Madina509]

Thank you. I completely missed that the first time around.

[@BanyoeLandscape]

I like your tour,garden with big green house...stunning

[@howlinhauler]

ok, i will say it. There is no other plant I HATE more than the peace lily. Kutzu would be the second. Love the curator conversation tours. Austin has great gardens and an early spring, cheers

[@marionweaver9463]

Beautiful oasis in Brooklyn. Currently I am discovering plants named after landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, some are at NYBG. More are probably found in Brazil and central America. He was a landscape architect and one of the earliest plant conservationists. Any change you and your amazing team could explore and show a series on conservationists and the plants that were named after them? Also love to have the meaning of botanical names explained. 🌱

[@izaihpaponette4366]

8:26 isn't that Philodendron campii?

[@floydiandreamscapes5145]

I'd love to have a greenhouse I could use year-round here in Vermont. I've recently started getting into cactus and succulents

[@nancydavis3674]

I love to go to BBG. So happy you got to present your tour. Thanks so much

[@abrachupacabra]

Big Thanks for the topicals 🎉

[@janecurtis5726]

Never had a chance to visit BBG so I thank you for this lovely tour!

[@rurutuM]

I want to go to there

[@abrachupacabra]

Here Spatifillum is known as a 'Female Happiness' and not as a funeral flower 😅 and Anthurium as a 'Male Happiness' 😊

[@ndbyers23]

Wow a beautiful video! Can you please identify the rose pictured around 2.01 timestamp? It is so gorgeous!

[@stonebradbury4396]

You should try and do a tour of smiths college botanical garden!!! It’s in Northampton Massachusetts. Super cool place😊😊

[@sdqsdq6274]
