Elgin Botanic Garden

1804 – 1811

The Elgin Botanic Garden was the first public botanical garden in the United States. Located in what is now Manhattan in New York City, it was established in 1801 by New York physician David Hosack. By 1810, Hosack was no longer able to fund the garden's expenses, and sold the land to the State of New York.
