The
first ten days or so of November are typically the height of fall color
across the gardens—and along the ancient, majestic Palisades cliff
across the Hudson. Join dapper Englishman and Wave Hill Horticultural
Interpreter Charlie Day on one of the two foliage walks he’s leading and
feast your senses on this most glorious moment of the season.
