The Arthur Ross Vice President for Horticulture and Living Collections, Todd Forrest oversees every aspect of the design and care of the New York Botanical Garden’s 250-acre campus. As such, his gardening experience spans everything from alpine rock gardens to native plants and displays of tropicals in the Conservatory. Today Todd discusses an almost miraculous treasure: the Botanical Garden’s 50-acre first growth woodland, the Thain Family Forest, a survivor in the heart of the Bronx of the local primeval forest. This wild place within the city has many lessons to teach gardeners and those who seek to restore and preserve their own landscapes, however small. Join our conversation on Growing Greener.
