Every holiday season Chris and I try to go see the miniatures show at the NY Botanical Garden. Gorgeous landmarks, homes and famous buildings all made from flowers, twigs, leaves and fruit.
The Enid Haupt Conservatory above is where the miniatures show is held each year and also is home to my favorite event at the garden, the Orchid show. I think the consevatory is one of the lovliest buildings in the display.
The William K. Vanderbilt mansion.
The details are just amazing. If you want to take a closer look, you can click on any photo for a larger view. The roof on this house is well worth seeing, it is truly gorgous.
A street scene........I guess we just missed the train.
This is Kycuit, the Rockefeller estate.
The George Washington Bridge.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
All of the buildings are nestled in among the greenery in the conservatory.
Boscobel estate in Garrison NY. I really love to visit Boscobel, it is about 15 mins across the Hudson River from where I live.
I hope you've enjoyed this sampling of all the beautiful houses and buildings and the intricate details that make up each one. See you in the new year, Happy Holidays!!!!!!
