This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fordham chapter.
A not-so-hidden gem right outside of Fordham’s campus is the Botanical Gardens. During the cold months, it’s not super appealing to walk around outside for an hour, BUT now that spring is here, there was perfect weather for a nice stroll with a friend this week. For the first time, I decided to turn left when I walked in rather than right, and I’m so glad I did! I saw the conservatory and sat by the beautiful fountain in front of the library. We also got a peek at the newly renovated restaurant Hudson Garden Grill which is definitely on next year’s bucket list.
Remember the grounds of the Botans (everything except special exhibits) are ALWAYS free if you show your Fordham ID!
