Farewell, summer! Hello, Fall! We think you'll fall for the changing season at Wave Hill. It's already beginning to look and feel like autumn in the gardens. Plan your visit today--advanced reservation is required. Reserve your ticket here.
And while you visit the gardens, don't miss out on what's new with our virtual programs:
Thursday, September 24, 2-3PM
Join us for a conversation between exhibiting artist Ana Flores and Jennifer McGregor, Senior Director of Arts, Education and Programs. Flores created the sculpture Forest Dialogue, a pair of bronze chairs with branches growing from their backs, inviting the visitor to sit amongst the majestic trees—Metasequoia glyptostroboides and the Taxodium distichum—in front of Glyndor Gallery. These sheltering seats remind us that we are one with the forest.
This program will be streamed live on Facebook and on wavehill.org.
September Salute to the Bees (VIRTUAL)
Our annual Honey Weekend moves online this year to celebrate the hard-working pollinators in our yards, gardens and natural areas. Throughout the month of September, we're offering virtual activities and information you can access on-demand as well as live virtual programs with experts.
Local honey, beeswax products and candle-making supplies are available by mail through The Shop at Wave Hill. And if you plan to visit the garden, take a self-guided tour of pollinator-friendly plants or just enjoy the gardens in their fall glory.
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.
Family Art Project (VIRTUAL)
Saturday, September 26, 10AM
Stories help us share knowledge and gain new understanding. Throughout time and across borders people have told stories to relate to the plants around them. Bees find their way into many of these stories, spreading pollen and life. Folklore tells us that important life events must be first told to the bees so they will continue to care for the flowers. What stories should we tell the bees about our most beloved flowers? Connect with a plant that is important to you and illustrate its story in a uniquely crafted pollination myth.
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.
