Native Plant Display Garden in Union Square Park
Located at East 15th Street and Union Square West, the garden features plants native to the New York City area. Showcasing that historically grew wild in lower Manhattan, it is home to large-leaved trillium, wild columbine, witch hazel, and maidenhair fern. It is a habitat haven for birds, bees, and butterflies, and engages New Yorkers with their local flora. The garden also reflects our local natural heritage, is a model for thoughtful, ecological designs in public parks, and encourages place-based nature education in our schools.

Want to know more? Listen to the garden’s designer, Mariellé Anzelone, extol the virtues of wildflowers.
