central park conservatory garden

The Conservatory Garden in Central Park was originally a greenhouse for tropical plants. After the green house deteriorated and demolished it was turned into a 6 acre garden in 1937 which was restored in 1981. The garden is split into three areas that have different styles, French, Italian and English. It's a very classical garden that Downing would classify as "beautiful" because it is symmetrical and doesn't have a wild and rustic character. I've been to this garden a bunch and it's really pretty. I've seen a wedding reception and a proposal there in the same day!
