Wave Hill Events April 12–April 19

   If ever there were a moment in the seasonal calendar to feel drawn to Wave Hill, mid-April is surely it. Stop in Glyndor Gallery for a tour of the exhibition now open there—Drawn to Nature, of course—and wander back outside, into the glorious Woodlands, up into the Wild Garden, dotted with delicate spring blooms. And then take in that wonderful, big bowl of landscape and sky on the Great Lawn.
