Have you been caught by the blistering air sent ashore by the Hudson? Have the streaks of erosion on the Palisades caught your eye? At the threshold of the pergola, we’re reminded of just how powerful our elements are. A small breeze becomes a gust of wind, and an easy stream branches out into a rushing river futher downstream. Find your reflection in nature at Wave Hill, the multitudes of who we are and who we can become.
Draw inspiration from the foliage and indoor arrangements to get creative in this mixed media workshop led by artist Wennie Huang in Harvest Hues. Later, Join NYC naturalist and author Leslie Day at her Book Talk. She highlights what it’s been like to live in a houseboat on the Hudson.
