New York Botanical Garden

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I was born and raised in New York and have never been to the NY Botanical Garden. I wanted to learn about it's history and precise location.

Lead section
The article has a good introductory section. It includes location, history, examples of botany you may encounter and what the place entails.

Content
The article talks about the many plants, history and different departments within the garden that may interest the reader or those interested in one day visiting. From time of establishment to current, the article provide landscape details and purpose of different structures within the garden.

Tone and Balance
The tone is neutral and a balance is maintained regarding the premise of the article which is historically to presently discuss the garden.

Sources and References
Majority of the sources were based on the New York Times news. The New York Times covers events that occurs within the state and city. It is a good source for relevant and up to date information.

Organization and writing quality
The quality of the article was clear and each section was it's own and didn't overlap or rushed through.

Images and Media
There aren't many images but the ones posted are significant to the section.

Talk page discussion
The talk page discussion isn't very different from how class discussion are. Every idea or concern is met with solutions and respect. Each person contributes and acknowledges the previous. This article was also apart of a Wikiproject during 2021.

Overall impressions
The articles strength is it's historical sections and it's ability to be easy to read to the general mass. I wish it had more images to references the gardens and development since the garden and number of structures are covered by 250 acres. The article also needs more sources although the one provided are strong secondary and primary sources but it seems repetitive. The article completeness is about 50%. There can be more added which covers not just the histor of the garden but many contributions that was established into what we presently consider the Garden.
