Morning Eye Candy: Unedited

Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on November 2 2013, by Patricia Gonzalez

I shot this on Tuesday, October 30th. As my shift ended early, I decided to take advantage of the daylight and photograph the continuing explosion of fall colors. The Forest is especially wonderful this time of year. Reds, yellows, oranges, and great shades of violet cover its 50 acres. According to the Garden’s fall foliage tracker, we are now about halfway to peak color. And it can only get better. I didn’t edit this photo in the least—mother nature provided excellent colors!

This Weekend: Woodland Wonder

Posted in Programs and Events on November 1 2013, by Matt Newman

The NYBG WeekendThe spotlight falls on our 50-acre woodland this weekend as we leapfrog past ghouls and ghosts and straight into Fall Forest Weekends! The timing couldn’t be better, either, with the leaves on the trees sitting at just over 50% of peak color. Over the next two weekends, we’ll be making the most of this painted season with canoe trips, Forest tours, tree-climbing courses, woodcarving demonstrations, beer tastings—you get the idea.

My suggestion? Come early, wander a bit to orient yourself, then launch into Saturday’s 11 a.m. Bird Walk with Debbie Becker. That should set you up for the rest of the day’s activities in the Forest while giving you a chance to experience the variety of wildlife that calls the Garden home. There’s a good mix of active and casual events taking place throughout each day, too, so take it all at your own pace!

The weather’s been mild, the colors are bright, and we’re super excited to get outside and enjoy it all. Everyone is welcome to join us!
