With the amount of rain we've been having, we certainly hope for an abundance of May flowers this Mother’s Day. As always, it’s a special time here at Wave Hill, with free walks, a special Family Art Project and free sessions of community and family yoga and picnicking among the gardens. Bring your own or pre-order a custom basket for pick-up from our Cafe. It’s the perfect gift for mom – or you can always find an additional item in the Shop.

Vines defy gravity and pull their weight up and over structures by winding, twining or holding on to their surroundings. Some species squeeze a little tight and this apparent rudeness has garnered a bad reputation for vines. Take a closer look with Wave Hill Senior Horticultural Interpreter Jess Brey at these climbing mechanisms and habits to give us a better idea of controlling these gorgeous, sometimes burly plants.
For this Meet the Artist conversation, exhibiting artist Tao Leigh Goffe has invited author Maaza Mengiste and artist, writer and editor Kandis Williams to join her to discuss the ideas that have shaped her Sunroom Project Space exhibition Plot and Provision: Crate-Digging. Goffe’s site-specific project is a climate-art, multimedia installation that explores intergenerational healing through the sounds and the soil of the Bronx. Central to the exhibition is the act of digging; sifting through history, archives, soil, and the origins of hip hop music to highlight the social, economic, and political realities that permeate our contemporary moment. Goffe’s exhibition complements the penultimate chapter of her forthcoming book After Eden (Doubleday).
This program is co-sponsored by Dark Laboratory, a creative technology organization that researches climate and race through Black and Indigenous theory and action.
Floriography is the art of using flowers to communicate a message. Send someone special your own loving message by creating a bouquet of paper flowers. Then arrange your creation in a vibrant vase of your own making.
Wonderfully timed to coincide with the arrival of spring, Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to pull out all the stops.
