Wave Hill Events Jun 9–Jun 16


Two workshops, each offering different but naturally wonderful ways to focus on working with plants, make this an especially attractive Saturday and Sunday. Add birding or a guided garden walk for an uplifting mid-June weekend.  

Sat, June 10    Family Art Project: Lotus Paper Lanterns
Visit the Aquatic Garden to sketch and observe for inspiration. Using bright tissue paper, cut nature shapes inspired by the floating flowers and inhabitants of that watery garden. Then use a simple papier-mâché method to transform their shapes into globe-like lanterns. Free, and admission to the grounds is free until noon
WAVE HILL HOUSE, 10AM‒1PM


Sat, June 10    Garden Workshop: Artful Airplants
Wave Hill Gardener Jennifer Cimino has a special fondness for airplants (Tillandsias) and displays them in whimsical ways. She has hung them up as decorative curtains, using lengths of fishing line, and suspended others in garlands of “bells”—tiny inverted flowerpots. With Cimino guiding you, mount a selection of these easy-to-care-for plants to enliven your home or garden. $45/$30 Wave Hill Member. Registration required, online at wavehill.org or onsite at the Perkins Visitor Center.
