With the recent drought, fall foliage has been quick this year. Our trees are a bit stressed and have been dropping leaves early to conserve water. For stressed visitors this season, we have been adding many free yoga sessions, nature walks and other special events for the whole family, especially on Gratitude Weekend, Nov 29–Dec 1.
Winter Haven at Wave Hill returns this December! Kick-off the season with us at our Opening Weekend, including our annual Artisan Market featuring local artisans and makers. Attend a wreathmaking workshop to make your own stunning, one-of-a-kind decorations. Plus, enjoy music, an ice carving demonstration, a special Family Art Project and scavenger hunt across the grounds. New this year are guided tours of Wave Hill House, highlighting its seasonal décor and history. Special “Nights Out at Wave Hill” and free, evening family events round out the seasonal festivities throughout the month of December. Celebrate the winter season in the natural beauty and serenity of our gardens!
Opt out of the Black Friday madness and cultivate your wellbeing with a free session of gratitude sound meditation. Sara Hart and Drew Campbell of Artemis Audio & Ayurveda guide you through a combined sensory meditation and sound-bath experience in our majestic Armor Hall with the melodious tones and healing vibrations of a variety of musical singing bowls. Reflect on the season as you give thanks for the good things in life, from small acts of kindness to the beauty of nature. Adults only, please.
Family Art Project: Grateful for Trees Canvas Bags
Trees give us shade, food and even oxygen! Celebrate the beauty of these important plants by printing leaves onto reusable bags. Your new stylish accessory will showcase your appreciation for trees.
At 11:30AM, families can enjoy a gratitude-themed storytime program in the Gund Theater, all ages welcome. We will be celebrating Thanksgiving with a reading of the book Thanks A Ton! by Sabrina Moyle.
Access even more books at your local library! Riverdale Public Library will be onsite Saturday to help families sign up for library cards. We love NYPL and are grateful to partner with our local branch throughout the year.
Solo and group exhibitions at Glyndor Gallery explore the dynamic relationships between nature, culture and site. Visitors can expect 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. Today’s tour features current exhibitions by artists Soeun Bae, Jordany Genao, Dario Mohr, and Judy Pfaff. The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes.
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.
Every December, Wave Hill House is decorated with plants and natural materials to celebrate the winter season. Join a thirty-minute tour highlighting the decorations and brief history of Wave Hill House.
