"I can't imagine New York City without these trees," Fermoile. "The trees do so much to benefit us, not just the air that we breathe, but also to cool us down."
The garden is ten degrees cooler than outside, making it a place to relax and observe. Sculptures from local artists also accompany the exhibit.
The Power of Trees exhibit is open Tuesday through Sunday until Oct. 22. Visitors can attend from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and until 6 p.m. the other days of the week.
