Reopening updates and Virtual Wave Hill

 

We are very happy to announce that Wave Hill is now open Wednesdays through Sundays from 10AM to 5:30PM. Wave Hill House and Glyndor Gallery are also open with reduced hours and limited capacity, and the Cafe is open, too--but just for grab-and-go snacks and beverages. 

Advanced reservation is still required by phone or online--find the link here. If you are already planning your next visit, check out what's new virtually: 


Thursday, September 10
September is National Honey Month! In this how-to video, Chef Aya Mohamed of Great Performances demonstrates her delicious recipe for Honey Nut Brittle with Thyme made with honey from Wave Hill’s own bees. Great Performances is Wave Hill’s exclusive caterer. Find the video on our website today.

Saturday, September 12, 2-3PM
Where does beeswax come from? What do bees eat? Why don’t the bees sting you? How did you become a beekeeper? Join us live with Wave Hill’s beekeeper Junior Schouten as he shares amazing facts about honeybees and the complex social structure within a bee colony. If you are curious about bees and beekeeping, here’s your chance to ask our expert!

The first of our Fall 2020 exhibitions have been installed and we are thrilled to be reopening Glyndor Gallery to the public. Visit wavehill.org for most up-to-date hours and visitor policies so you can see these works in person.

Saturday, September 12, 10AM
What stories blossom and grow in the plants around us? Explore the art of botanical illustration with thoughtful observation that helps us understand plants more intimately. Learn about morphology, the study of botanical form, and how plants tell their own stories by the shapes they take. Using a field journal, learn several drawing techniques that will help you see a plant you know and love differently.

Sundays, through November 8, 9:30AM-10:00AM
Join mindful outdoor guide Cindy Olsen or dosha healer Sara Hart for the healing practice of “sit spot” nature meditation. This experience is open to all who wish to learn simple meditation activities, nature lovers or anyone with an ongoing practice. Your “sit spot” can be anywhere—outdoors in your favorite spot, or your favorite spot at home.

This event is brought to you digitally—and onsite, we hope, one day this fall—as we move through Wave Hill’s planned phases of reopening.

A 28-acre public garden and cultural center overlooking the Hudson River  and Palisades, Wave Hill’s mission is to celebrate the artistry and legacy of its gardens and landscape, to preserve its magnificent views, and to explore human connections to the natural world through programs in horticulture, education and the arts.

HOURS: Special restricted hours as New York City recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic: 10AM–5:30PM, Wednesdays–Sunday.
