Enid A. Haupt Glass Garden, Botanical garden at New York University Medical Center, Manhattan, United States.
The Enid A. Haupt Glass Garden is a greenhouse at the corner of 34th Street and First Avenue in Manhattan with thousands of square feet of growing space. The interior features wide pathways and varied plantings designed so that everyone can move through and view the greenery easily.
Howard A. Rusk founded this space in 1959 as part of the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine at NYU Medical Center. The project aimed to combine nature with medical care to support patient recovery.
The garden demonstrates how plants and nature support patient healing and well-being within a medical setting. Visitors notice how green spaces create moments of calm in the middle of a busy hospital environment.
The garden sits right next to a major hospital and is easily walkable from Penn Station. Inside, wide pathways accommodate wheelchairs and walkers, and the temperature stays constant and comfortable year-round.
The greenhouse flooded after Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and required complete renovation before reopening. This reconstruction brought modern safeguards against natural disasters.
