Fort Tryon Park: Heather Garden Monthly Tour

Join us on Saturday, September 28, at 11 AM for the return of the beloved Heather Garden Tour in Fort Tryon Park, hosted by the knowledgeable Madeline Byrne!


The tour begins at the southern entrance to the Heather Garden.

The Heather Garden is the crown jewel of Fort Tryon Park, spanning 3 acres of stunning beauty. Boasting one of the largest heath and heather collections on the East Coast, the garden showcases a 600-linear-foot perennial border and over 650 varieties of plants, including trees, shrubs, and bulbs! It is New York City’s largest public garden with unrestricted access. Walk among the lush greenery, flanked by historic stone walls and remnants of Cornelius G.K. Billings’ early 1900s estate.

Enjoy breathtaking views of the Hudson River while discovering over 30 varieties of heaths and heathers, whose blooms and vibrant foliage bring year-round color to this extraordinary space. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the tranquil and diverse beauty of the Heather Garden in its autumn glory!
