Wave Hill Weekly Events (Jan 29 - Feb 1) | Find Your Winter Escape: Yoga, Forest Bathing, and More

 

No one adapts better than the animals that make themselves at home around the grounds.  

Take a minute to pause and immerse yourself in the garden. What appears to be stillness all around may happily surprise you. Branches have snow shaken off their tops as sparrows and mockingbirds fluff their feathers for warmth and sing a sweet song in the evergreen trees.
