Wave Hill Weekly Events (May 28 – Jun 4) | Spring Through Transformations: Wellness, Arts, & Seedlings

 

The passing of a gentle spring breeze carries the promise of a summer through the air for flora across the garden, sparking hope into our minds. Tree tops that kiss the sky carrying shade on sunny days, blooming flowers acting as pit stops for our pollinators, and the seeds of our plants giving us hope for a brighter future. Stop by The Shop and select from an array of seeds for your vision of what's ahead, whether that’s supporting local pollinators or starting a garden of your own. Take the future into your own hands at Wave Hill.
