If
ever there were a moment in the seasonal calendar to feel drawn to Wave
Hill, mid-April is surely it. Stop in Glyndor Gallery for a tour of the
exhibition now open there—Drawn to Nature, of course—and wander
back outside, into the glorious Woodlands, up into the Wild Garden,
dotted with delicate spring blooms. And then take in that wonderful, big
bowl of landscape and sky on the Great Lawn.
