But, that needn’t put a damper on your plans to visit the Garden. The Garden is beautiful in the rain. Here’s a little video we put together celebrating the Garden in the rain, featuring the poetry of iconic New York City poet Langston Hughes.

Since our Monday morning eye candy was met with such enthusiastic approval, we figured, “Well, why not give the people what they’re so obviously craving?” So, here it is: Your new, daily dose of Garden beauty. Enjoy.
