By 1988 the New York Botanical Garden was in serious trouble-endowments depleted, fundraising inadequate. The grounds were seedy, historic buildings decrepit. The mission of the once-respected institution had been forgotten by all but a few. Enter Gregory Long, a new CEO recruited with a mandate to rescue it. With twenty years' experience at four major New York cultural institutions, and extraordinary energy and imagination, he set about turning things around. This is the story of how he did it.

About the Author
Gregory Long is president emeritus of the New York Botanical Garden, where he served as president and CEO from 1989 to 2018. He began his career in 1969 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he worked as executive assistant to the corporate secretary and president of the board. He then held positions at the Brooklyn Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, and the New York Zoological Society (now the Wildlife Conservation Society), and through the 1980s he served as vice president for public affairs at the New York Public Library. He is author of Historic Houses of the Hudson River Valley.
Gregory Long's awards include Common Cause's NYC Cultural Leadership Award; The Cultural Landscape Foundation's Ten-4-Ten Stewardship Award; The New York Botanical Garden's Founders Award and its Gold Medal; and the Native Plant Center's Acorn Award. He is an Honorary Member of the American Society of Landscape Architects and received that organization's LaGasse Medal in 2015. The City University of New York and Fordham University have awarded Long honorary Doctorates of Humane Letters. In 2019, The New York Audubon awarded Long with the Thomas W.
