The Holiday Train Show

I learned about the Holiday Train Show in The New York Botanical Garden from one of my Facebook friend's post and we thought of checking it out. We went on the last day on January 19, 2015 and it was so awesome! The artist Paul Busse and his team really did an amazing job of recreating New York City's landmarks out of bark and other parts of plants. I didn't reserve a time beforehand so we have to wait a bit before we can go in the Haupt Conservatory to see the Holiday Train Show.

 

We use the time to visit the Mertz Library which we learned is one of the and the largest, botanical libraries in the world, and to take the tram tour  My husband and I had to tell my daughter to imagine the flowers since the tour audio describe blooming flowers and flowering trees and yet all we can see are trees with no leaves, grass and rocks, typical of a winter landscape.

Last year, my daughter had a field trip in the  Everett Children's Adventure Garden so she gave her Daddy a tour of the Garden, sprinkle water on some plants inside the mini green house found in the garden, entertain us with her impromptu puppet show and play in the toy train found in the garden.
