Welcome to a New Season of Classes at the Garden!
Change your career. Beautify your green space. Exercise your creativity. Renew your spirit. Whatever your experience or motivation, The New York Botanical Garden has hundreds of classes to educate, inspire, and guide you. This fall and winter our experts are poised to teach you plant basics in courses such as Fundamentals of Gardening and Flower ID from A to Z. We also have a few new surprises with Botany of The Hunger Games and Make a Herbal Medicine Kit, among others. Whether your interest is science, art, design, the environment, or wellness, you’ll find classes that could literally change your life. Take a single-session course or dig deeper with one of our prestigious Certificate programs. Daytime, evening, and weekend classes meet in our 250 magnificent acres in the Bronx, at our Midtown Education Center on West 44th Street (2 blocks from Grand Central), and at satellite locations in Fairfield and Dutchess Counties. If you have never taken a class with us before, we invite you to discover new interests and talents. If you are a returning student, we welcome you back to continue an area of interest or pursue another. If you are thinking about a career change, we encourage you to take a serious look at one of our Certificate programs. What are you waiting for?
