Wave Hill is famous for its trough gardens. We recently began the process of making new ones. On Alpine Trough Weekend, join a gardening or art workshop to get more acquainted with Wave Hill’s extensive collection of alpine plants, or just stop by to chat with our experts as they share the art of trough gardening. These miniature, self-contained rock gardens are amazing!
Join us for a free community event to celebrate Juneteenth with an evening of performances, artmaking and more. Picnicking, complimentary ice cream and fabulous musical and dance performances at sunset on our Great Lawn. Thur, June 13, 4:30PM–8:00PM
Drop in for an in-depth look at artworks on view in Glyndor Gallery and in the Sunroom Project Space, showcasing the work of both emerging and established artists in the unique context of a public garden.
Which flower represents you? Make your own pigments with flowers like yellow marigolds and crimson hibiscus. Then, grab your brush and use the paint you made to create decorative garden flags.

Troughs are rustic and timeless containers made from cement and other materials. Tour Wave Hill’s trough collection, then plant up a pre-made trough with classic rock garden plants while learning about trough design and care. Wave Hill’s trough recipe will be provided for those who want to make their own trough at home. When fully planted, your trough will weigh approximately 20 lbs. Please plan ahead to get your trough home safely. Space is limited.
What is a trough made of? Why are the plants so small? Drop-by the Alpine House to chat with our experts about gardening with these pint-sized plants.
Alpine plants are small in stature but big in personality. Observe a potted plant from Wave Hill’s collection and capture the quirkiness of your chosen subject by sketching or doodling with colored pencils. Artist Wennie Huang shares some basic techniques and offers feedback in this casual and fun workshop for artists of all levels. Materials provided or bring your own.
Naturalists and birding guides Gabriel Willow and Paul Keim lead birders through the gardens and woodlands to seek out summer birds. Observe the plants, insects and habitats at Wave Hill that make it so appealing for such a wide variety of birds. A limited number of binoculars, monoculars and walking sticks are available to borrow at the Perkins Visitor Center. Ages 10 and older welcome with an adult.
Root your feet in the grass and look out upon the vistas as you enjoy a gentle yoga class led by Susie Caramanica. All levels welcome.
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.
