We had such an amazing party celebration this week for the eclipse! Now it feels like the garden is truly coming to life as well, just in time for Mother’s Day. Looking forward to our Springtime Artisan Market. Our Shop carefully selects some really wonderful local craftspeople with so many unique gifts to choose from. We’re also very excited about our next lecture May 8th with Troy Scott Smith, Head Gardener at the worldclass Sissinghurst Garden in the UK.
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.

What is pollination all about? Why is it so important for our gardens? Let’s make a hat with flowers, bees and butterflies to help us explore this peculiar pollen process.

During his time as Head Gardener at Sissinghurst, Troy Scott Smith has been on a mission to rejuvenate the design intent of Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson. His efforts thus far have resulted in a garden more authentic to the original, reviving the artistic spirit of its creators and unlocking a sense of place, rooted in the natural landscape and the seasons. In this illustrated lecture, Troy will take us on a journey from the original plan and plantings through decades of interventions to the current garden of today. He will discuss what he and his team are doing to preserve the heritage of Sissinghurst while addressing the pressing issues of climate crisis, biosecurity, and biodiversity. Lecture followed by a reception with light refreshments.
