Tuesday’s snowfall was gone before it hit the ground, but that didn’t stop Ivo from snapping a few choice fall photographs!

It snowed last night. It was very quiet and very beautiful, and it hung around until this morning when we were able to document it for posterity. Which is good because by this weekend when it’s 60 degrees again and we’re celebrating Fall Forest Weekend, we’ll all be asking each other “What snow?”

Fall Forest Weekend is your opportunity to explore one of the oldest remaining remnants of the forests that once covered most of New York City and you can immerse yourself in the magnificent colors of fall foliage. Tree-climbing demonstrations, guided tours, and more make for an unforgettable autumn experience! Get your tickets now!

After weeks of snow and ice, we’ve gotten a break in the weather, and the Garden’s first flowers are taking advantage of the warmth.

First up? Snowdrops, hellebores, and the rare herbaceous perennial Adonis amurensis. See them all here.

The snow gathering on this Magnolia kobus near the Visitor Center makes it look like something out of a fantastic dream.

No, we’re not bioengineering treat-dispensing shrubbery. It’s just snowing a lot this winter, coating everything in what, on some days, looks like a thick layer of Marshmallow Fluff.

It just keeps snowing here at the Garden. And it just keeps getting prettier, too.
