Expected number of participants: 30 - 40

Logistic information

Invited participant support: Hotel cost, travel, $75 registration, and per diem expenses reimbursed following workshop.
Airport: Please contact Jill Goodwin at jgoodwin@floridamuseum.ufl.edu to approve flights prior top booking

  • LaGuardia Airport (LGA) 10 mi from NYBG
  • JFK Airport (JFK) 20 mi from NYBG
  • Newark (EWR)
  • Westchester County (HPN)

Airport transportation: Uber/Lyft/taxi/rental car is the easiest and most convenient way to get from any of these airports to the Bronx; the fastest public transportation will take at least an hour and require several switches of bus and/or train. By car the trip will take 20-30 minutes or less, depending on traffic (and be sure to account for traffic and leave plenty of time to reach return flights).
Recommended workshop hotels: Please book a room ASAP to ensure availability and stay under $200/night.

Transportation from hotel to venue: Uber, Lyft, or taxi from any of the suggested hotels to NYBG should be 5-10 minutes. The Rodeway Inn is walking distance, though walkers should use common sense while traveling on foot in the Bronx. Participants should come to the Mosholu gate and check in with security, who will direct them to the appropriate building and entrance.
Workshop venue: New York Botanical Garden
William & Lynda Steere Herbarium
NYBG Mosholu entrance: 2950 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, NY 10458
Workshop location: Reading Room, LuEsther T. Mertz Library
Breakfast and lunch: Pfizer Laboratory Conference Room
PLEASE NOTE: Workshop participants should come directly to the Mosholu gate, NOT the main entrance to the Garden. Be sure to use the Mosholu address given above for your Uber/taxi driver or GPS (2950 Southern Blvd). When you arrive at the gate, if you are coming by car, you will need to check in with Security at the booth, and ask them to direct you to either the Pfizer lab or Ross Gallery entrance, depending on the time you arrive (see schedule and map provided). Walkers can turn left upon entering the gate and proceed directly to the appropriate building; do not go to the visitor ticket booths.
