Conservatory Garden adalah satu-satunya kebun formal di Central Park, New York City. Berdiri di lahan seluas 6 ekar (24.000 m2), kebun ini mengambil namanya dari konservatorium yang pernah berdiri di tempat itu sejak 1898 sampai 1934.[1] Kepala kebun taman ini menggunakan rumah kaca untuk memperkuat potongan kayu keras pada tanaman di taman ini. Setelah konservatorium diruntuhkan, kebun ini dibangun dan ditanami oleh pekerja WPA dan dibuka untuk umum pada 1937. Kebun ini dirancang oleh Gilmore D. Clarke, arsitek lanskap untuk Robert Moses, dan tata penanamannya dirancang oleh M. Betty Sprout.[2]
