How far is it by subway from Say... Midtown? How much would a taxi be about... I am treating this new guy I'm seeing to night out, but I don't want it to be cheesey or a hassle.... what do you think? Cool or uncool?
Has anyone ever been to that Holiday train thing at the botanical gardens in New York? Is is good for a date?
I'm thinking you are talking about the one in the Bronx since I used to take my cousins there every year. :)
It is a rather cute exhibit where you have a bunch of different trees and plants you go through first. Then you see the exhibit with many miniature trains that go around New York City figures (Statue Of Liberty, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, etc.). If your new guy is into trains then he would like this. The park itself is a nice walk around too (they also have a cart that goes around most of the gardens).
Afterwards, not too far away is Arthur Avenue (Little Italy of the Bronx). You can eat a nice Italian dinner there. I recommend Emilia's. Nice casual atmosphere with good food.
Via subway from midtown (don't know exactly where you are coming from in terms of east or west side) but if you are close to the "2" or "5" train, take one of them uptown (if on the "5", get out at the E. 180th Street station and change for the "2".) On the "2" get out at the Pelham Parkway station. Change for the BX12 bus westbound (the sign should read out 207th Street). You'll pass the Bronx Zoo on one side, the NY Botanical Garden is opposite of it (north). Get out at the Southern Blvd. bus stop (there is a McDonalds across the street). Walk up along the Botanical Garden....you know you are right when you see a parking garage across the street). The entrance is not that far up.
To get to Emilia's, take that same bus westbound (BX12) on Fordham Road and get out at Arthur Avenue (once the underground part of the road comes up) or you could even walk it if you want to Arthur Avenue. It's about a three block walk down to the heart of Arthur Avenue (E. 187th Street)...no buses go along Arthur Avenue. Emilia is on the right side of the street walking down Arthur Avenue past 187th Street. Link below....
Reply:There are botanical gardens in Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Queens is small and, in your words, rather cheesy. Brooklyn's okay. Bronx is largest and Staten Island is nicest (with dozens of different rose varietals, among other things), with an interesting restaurant on weekends. But I wouldn't go to any of them until April, unless you like wandering in greenhouses.
Taxis to any of these from midtown is going to be expensive, %26gt;$30. The Brooklyn one would be the shortest trip, get off at Prospect Park. For the one on Staten Island, take a bus to Snug Harbor from the ferry.

Transportation to Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens?
I'm trying to save as much money as I can and I want to go to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens in Las Vegas. Is there a bus I can take from the strip? I'm not interested in the tour buses that go all the way to the dam.
Thanks
Transportation to Ethel M Chocolate Factory and Botanical Cactus Gardens?
Vegas like many other cities has public transit. I have passed by the Ethel M/Botanical Gardens on one. I wasn't stopping there so I don't know where the nearest drop off for it is. Check with CAT
http://www.rtcsouthernnevada.com/cat/
Reply:There is no free shuttle service or anything of that nature. Perhaps you could hop on a shuttle to one of the nearby casinos and then take a cab?
The other option is public transportation. I do not know your starting location, but the address for Ethel M is:
2 Cactus Garden Drive
Henderson, NV 89104
Use the trip planner at the Southern Nevada Transit website to plan your trip.

Reply:There is what is called a trolly service which is really just buses made to look like trollies. They are green and white. They travel up and down th strip. You can pay per ride or by a day pass (for daylight hours) or a night pass. The cost for a pass is less than five bucks. It is pretty basic and slow but it is the cheapest.
Check the route map.

Who funds the Botanical Gardens Glasnevin, Dublin?

Who funds the Botanical Gardens Glasnevin, Dublin?
The Garden is a public institution that is operated by the Office of Public Works.
For more information go to:

Reply:Yes it is government funded. It is a public work and so it qualifies for full government financial support.

I'm a bit worried about you. That the OPW is a government body should be pretty obvious, even from the name.

Botanical garden in boston?
i visit one in virginia that was great .does anyone know about one in boston
Botanical garden in boston?
Sure, here you go:
Boston truly is the seat of America's history, and the Public Garden is no different as the country's oldest botanical gardens. Located just across Charles Street from the Boston Common, Boston Public Gardens features tranquil scenery, serene swan boats, and the much-beloved duck statues. The four-acre pond features foot-pedal Swan Boats, one of the Boston's most popular daily outdoor activities.
There's also an astounding statue of George Washington on horseback that was constructed in 1869 and faces the head of Commonwealth Avenue at the Arlington Street gate. Children will love clamoring on the statues dedicated to the popular book, "Make Way for the Ducklings," making Public Garden an ideal location for the entire family. Be sure to bring along a camera, as you'll enjoy great photo opportunities you can't find anywhere else.
Reply:well the Public Garden right in Boston is gorgeous and you should visit it but it's not a true botanical garden. Go to the Arnold Arboretum in Jamaica Plain (which is a part of Boston). It's affiliated with Harvard University. Also in Framingham (maybe half an hour west of Boston) is the Garden in the Woods. I know they have a website, I forgot what it is but you can google it. I've been - it's really nice.
Reply:If you happen to be west of Boston towards Worcester you could visit Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston. Good variety of vegetation and florals, not to mention a view of Wachusett Mountain and Reservoir.

Both are accessable by subway.
Reply:The closest you would get in the city would be the Boston Public Garden, or the Boston Common, but there are some nicer places if you're looking to travel outside the city just slightly. (For example in Watertown the Mount Auburn Cemetary, about 10 min drive out of the city)

Fort Worth Botanical Garden?
where can I find a list of trees and flowers for this garden? Their website doesn't have a lot of information about the plants.
Fort Worth Botanical Garden?
This site gives a list of what's in bloom:
http://www.fwbg.org/whats_in_bloom.htm
There are several rose gardens, a perennial garden, a fragrance garden, a Japanese garden, a trial garden, a Texas native forest, a water conservation garden, %26amp; a waterwise garden which includes agave, Texas sage, salvia greggii, Mexican Bush sage, red yucca and Esparanza.
A four seasons garden includes hundreds of varieties of iris, daylily, and chrysanthemum:
http://www.fwbg.org/four_seasons.htm
Luxuriant tropical foliage fills the 10,000 square foot Conservatory, which features orchids, bromeliads and exotic trees from around the world:

Sorry, I couldn't find a complete list of flowers %26amp; trees in the Forth Worth Botanical gardens. That would be a great help if someone would compile one %26amp; post it. Since their trial garden is always testing new plants to see how they adapt to the area, I believe that that type of list would be constantly changing %26amp; would have to be updated often.
Good luck!!!
Reply:Wow, that is a broad question.
I am sure they have a listing of all the plants that are grown...but I can't imagine someone taking the time to put it on the website.
Probably best if you bring a pen and paper when you visit and write down the names of the plants you desire.
Like the other poster said, there are many different gardens within the Botanical Garden (the Conservatory is my favorite area) and all of them have hundreds of plants.
