Snow has blanketed the garden this week and it is absolutely beautiful! The gardens of Wave Hill have been planned so that there is always something in bloom outside every day of the year. The red Idesia against the snow is truly lovely and the great trees look especially majestic. We still have tickets available this weekend (SUN, JAN 21) to the Evening of Transcendent Sound presented with Bronx Arts Ensemble. It should be an amazing day to walk in the garden and then warm up with tea and a meditative experience in our Armor Hall.
Feb 10-11 brings our last free (with admission) birding walk and a winter soap-making workshop.
Celebrate the start of the Year of the Dragon by learning about its role in the Chinese zodiac. Then, assemble and decorate a fan inspired by "dragons” in nature: lizards, snakes and other creatures that call the Bronx home.
Make your own cold-processed soap with Melissa Rivera of Holistic Energy Healing. Each batch is made from all natural ingredients, including fragrance and essential oils that soothe winter-weary skin and have an amazing scent! Go home with a full pound of homemade soap, enough for several bars to keep or share. Participants will work in small groups. Ages 12 and older welcome with an adult.
The Hudson River Valley hosts an impressive diversity of bird species, even during the winter months. Explore Wave Hill’s tranquil gardens and woodlands with birder guide Paul Keim to observe birds in their winter habitat. Birders of all levels encouraged. Ages 10 and older welcome with an adult. Space is limited. Please bring your own binoculars. Severe weather cancels.
Join a knowledgeable Wave Hill Garden Guide for a leisurely stroll in the gardens. Topics vary by season and the expertise of the Guide--come back for an encore; each walk varies with the Guide leading it. This walk lasts a half-hour to 45 minutes. Public Garden Walks are most appropriate for adults or young adults.
