Picture yourself surrounded by a sea of rich greens, the vast palisades across the pergola, and a sweet bird song that carries a soft and easy tune. The flowering magnolias carry a saccharine scent through the paths as rain droplets rest on their velvety petals. Visit our gardens that are a vision plucked out of a movie scene and take in all it has to offer.
Wave Hill is excited to celebrate Mother’s Day with you and your loved ones! Join in on all the ways we uplift these special women in our lives. Whether it's crafting a paper bouquet or gifting the perfect picnic spread, the gardens are the perfect place to show how much you care.
Wonderfully timed to coincide with the arrival of spring, Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to pull out all the stops. Plan to spend the day in the gardens with a special Family Art Project, a guided garden walk, a session of spring birding, and a free session of community yoga. Stop by the Shop at Wave Hill to browse our selection of jewelry, bath and body products, and other perfect gifts for mom or that special lady in your life!
Nature:
Welcome migratory birds back to Wave Hill this spring! These birds flock to our gardens for a short rest or return to settle for this season. Look for resident and rare birds around the gardens and woodlands with birders Gabriel Willow and Ryan Mandelbaum guiding you through the grounds.
Join a knowledgeable Wave Hill Garden Guide for a leisurely stroll in the gardens. Discuss topics of the upcoming season with 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.
