Wave Hill Weekly Events (Mar 20 – Mar 27) | Signs of Spring & Forest Bathing

 

Cooler air sweeps across the gardens from the palisades across the rushing river. A chill just enough to awaken the small critters that live in Wave Hill. Birds are gathering on the grass looking for a bite to eat, squirrels scurry up and down the trees, and rabbits hop about. Visit Wave Hill to connect your mind, body, and senses, to our quietly thriving gardens this spring!
