Last weekend, in an effort to combat the winters blues, I ventured to the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. The Orchid Show didn’t disappoint. While humid weather isn’t usually my favorite, this time it was a welcomed change to the frigid temperature outside. We strolled through the never ending greenhouses from the winding multi-colored orchid sculptures to the crisp, cool cactus house. While we weaved in and out of the crowds, brushing past giant palm leaves and sweet floral scents, I felt surprisingly calm and refreshed. Even in an artificial setting like a greenhouse, connecting with nature brings me to a certain level of zen.Â
