Wave Hill Weekly Events (Mar 5 – Mar 12) | Dig in to the Garden's Greenhouse!

 

Around the corner, awaits a sea of blue, ready to roll down the hills across the gardens. A “super-bloom” of glory-of-the-snow marks the start of spring at Wave Hill. Thesegentian blue flowers bloom together, producing a carpet-like display under trees, in garden beds and alongside paths in the Woodland. Watch for the signs beginning inlate-March and plan your visit before it's gone!
