Conservatory Garden

The Conservatory Garden is the single garden with the Frenchwoman of Central Park, with New York. From a surface of 2,42 hectares, it draws its name from an old greenhouse (in English conservatory ) which was built at the same place in 1898 and was destroyed in 1934. The former gardener as a chief of the park used these greenhouses in order to preserve wood resulting from the size of the trees of the park. Once the greenhouse closed its doors in 1937, the garden was opened with the public.

The Conservatory Garden is composed of three quite distinct parts, originally resulting from plans of Gilmore D. Clarke, the former landscape gardener of Robert Moses, but improved successfully in the Années 1980. It is accessible via the Vanderbilt Gate (Vandervilt gate) located on the Fifth Avenue at the level from the 105e street. To one time, this same gate gave access to the forecourt of the castle of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, which was the largest manor of the Fifth Avenue, built during the Gilded Age (golden age which followed the American Civil War). The park of the castle extended even up to the level from the Plaza Hotel, located at the level of the current southern edge is of Central Park. The gates of the property were the work of George Browne Post, which made them import Paris. Once the steps located behind the entry crossed, the Conservatory Garden is appeared as a symmetrical lawn, delimited by wood of If, and decorated by single a fountain.
