Weekend Programming: Darwin’s Garden Takes a Bow…
Posted in Programs and Events on July 18 2008, by Plant Talk
You’ve been working for it all week long, and now it’s here! This weekend at The New York Botanical Garden is jam- packed with awesome weather and exciting programming. Plus, the magnificent trees provide us city dwellers with a beautiful, shady oasis, a great way to escape the heat and humidity.
Mark it on your calendar: This is the last weekend to see Charles Darwin’s notebooks and sketches, which are being displayed in the LuEsther T. Mertz Library gallery.
If you are a huge fan of daylilies, like I am, then you won’t want to miss the Home Gardening demonstration devoted entirely to daylilies!
For those who love to cook—and to eat for that matter—you will be interested to know about the herbal scavenger hunt taking place in the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden. During the scavenger hunt you will get to smell, touch, and even taste some of the herbs.
And, if you haven’t yet seen the massive sculpture of Henry Moore, you’re missing out. There are many ways to appreciate these works, from participating in a walking tour to watching the Henry Moore documentary, the choice is yours.
Last but not least, there is a Native Plant Garden Tour on Sunday. If you’re going native, you must attend.
