Come with me to the NY Botanical Gardens

This was such an amazing trip! 💐

New York Botanical Garden

I went on this outing with my coworker and it was a wonderful time! We both love flowers and we heard about the 2024 Orchid Festival and had to check it out.

I wore a Old Navy Flower Dress and some Lily-Of-The-Valley Earrings from Temu! I wanted to wear something festive, and I was glad to see others wearing their own flower creations as well!

The tickets were $35 each, but going through the entire greenhouse took about 2 1/2 hours! It was definitely worth it as each area was meticulously cared for and it felt like we were walking through a beautiful paradise! 🌸

There was so much educational content about each flower and I throughly enjoyed reading them and learning about so many types of flowers that I didn’t know existed! Incredible!

If you’re ever in NY, I definitely recommend checking out the botanical gardens. There was so much there to do and I’ve only scratched the surface.

⭐️Overall rating: 5/5 @

This is my first post on Lemon8 and I look forward to making more posts and sharing my adventures with you! 💕
