From Martha to Meat Pies

Darwin’s Garden: An Evolutionary Adventure is in full swing at the Garden and the Henry Moore sculpture are being placed for the May 24 opening of Moore in America: Monumental Sculpture at The New York Botanical Garden. So, as you can imagine, things are super busy at the Garden, and it looks like more than a couple of news outlets have taken notice.

The Washington Post prominently featured the Darwin exhibit on the front page of its style section (right). Check out the link to read about the exhibit and even view a nice photo slide show.

The New York Times ran an interesting article on great places to eat nearby the Garden. From savory Albanian meat pies, the Dominican stew known as sancocho, and, of course, great authentic Italian food, who knew the Bronx was so eclectic?

Martha Stewart went wild at the annual Antique Garden Show and Furniture Sale, held last weekend at the Garden. Martha wrote a lengthy blog entry and included 26 images about her time at the sale.

The latest edition of Sonia’s Garden, all about daffodils, has been picked up by numerous news outlets across the country. Learn the difference between trumpet and large-cupped daffodils!
