Botanical History Tour with Author Leslie Day

Come tour Fort Tryon’s Heather Garden and the former Billings Estate entrance area and learn about Fort Tryon’s many conifers and evergreens with Leslie Day, author of Field Guide to New York City.

Find out which conifers predate the park, and which have been added in recent park restoration projects to add to the year round beauty and horticultural appeal of the park.

These tours are wheelchair-accessible but persons with mobility issues may find them challenging because of the park’s many steep paths.
