South Garden, The Conservatory Garden, Central Park, New York City ⇑

The southern garden is a feature of the Conservatory Garden in Central Park with a distinct English style. At the center is a bronze sculpture, the Burnett Fountain, depicting a young boy and girl. Based on characters from The Secret Garden, by Frances Hodgson Burnett the fountain was designed and constructed in 1936 by Bessie Potter Vonnoh. It is surrounded by a reflecting pool adorned with water lilies and goldfish. This quiet pocket of Central Park is one of its most beautiful features.
