Wave Hill Events December 28–January 4

   At Wave Hill we take our cue from Mother Nature as the new year arrives: She looks serene and still, but don’t let that fool you into forgetting that even now, deep below the surface, she is thinking ahead to spring. A walk through the gardens and, if you’re lucky enough to have youngsters in tow, a Family Art project, will encourage you to get in touch naturally with the unique delights of this season.
