On November 7, 2014, the Symposium The Changing Nature of Nature in Cities was held to a sold-out crowd in Ross Hall. It was the 2nd Symposium hosted by The New York Botanical Garden’s new Humanities Institute. Organized in collaboration with Todd Forrest, Arthur Ross Vice President for Horticulture and Living Collections, and Jessica Arcate Schuler, Director of the Thain Family Forest, it brought together a diverse group of scientists, botanists, landscape and garden design professionals, urban planners, architects, and general public to discuss the development of novel ecosystems in our rapidly growing metropolitan areas—a timely and often contentious subject in current conversations on the topic.

Minute cactus specimens cover tables in the Nolen Greenhouses for Living Collections. I wonder how many of them will make it into our summer exhibition, FRIDA KAHLO: Art, Garden, Life.

Happy New Year to you and yours from NYBG! It’s winter, sure, but we can look forward to spring a little early.
