Morning Eye Candy: Take a Seat

There are so many nice places to sit at the Garden. Places with a view, places in the sun, places in the shade, places to have a chat, places to read a book. Where’s your favorite place to rest at NYBG?

When a Tree Falls in the Forest

Cutting the logWhile I cannot tell you whether or not a tree makes a sound when it falls in the forest and no one is around, I can tell you that when a tree falls in the Forest at The New York Botanical Garden, we tend to find a good use for it. Case in point the beauty below, which was felled by one of this past summer’s violent storms.

While fallen trees are an important part of a forest’s ecosystem, they can also be an important part of the enjoyment of the place. Especially when they’re made into a beautiful bench by Bien Hecho for Garden visitors to rest upon.
