Time Out New York readers recently voted Wave Hill their most loved cultural venue, and that makes us especially happy to welcome all our valentines this year. May we recommend combining our blissfully peaceful oasis with the activity of your choice: Brush up on the language of flowers, heart the manatee at a family card-making project, decorate your own cookies, and cap the visit off with a browse in the Shop for sweet gifts—and take advantage of a sale on some of our most handsome jewelry.
The second speaker in our horticultural lecture series for 2017, David Fried, has some passions of his own, namely getting us all into growing organic fruit and nut trees. Some tickets are still available for this lively and engaging talk!

As we look ahead to Valentine’s Day, let’s spread the love like the petals of a bursting flower.

WED, FEBRUARY 15 FRUITS YOU ONLY DREAMED YOU COULD GROW—A HORTICULTURAL LECTURE BY DAVID FRIED
Every yard and patio can be a small universe of edibles. Flowering, ripening, with exotic aromas and splashes of color, nothing inspires and satisfies like your own home fruit grove. Described as a pioneer in propagating and nurturing certified organic fruit and nut trees, David Fried founded Elmore Roots Nursery—in Vermont just south of the Canadian border—more than 30 years ago. Elmore Roots is a small farm that grows apples, plums, northern kiwis and pears, as well as black walnut and hazelnut and other nut trees. Wave Hill’s annual horticultural lecture series is held at the New York School of Interior Design. Three-lecture series: $60/$50 Wave Hill Member or student. Individual tickets: $25/$20 Wave Hill Member or student. Seating is limited, and advanced reservations are recommended, online at wavehill.org beginning November 16. The last lecture of the series takes place on March 15, when Jack Staub will speak about Hortulus Farm.
