Orchid Evenings Return to Warm Up Your Nights
Posted in Programs and Events on March 2 2015, by Lansing Moore
For the return of the Orchid Show, celebrating its 13th year with an expanded display of living chandeliers that fills the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, Orchid Evenings are back! The Garden’s Victorian glasshouse is bursting with color and fragrance, and you have nine opportunities to take in the dazzling array of orchids with cocktails, refreshments, and live entertainment.
On March 7, 14, 19, 21, 28, and April 4, 11, 17, and 18, guests at Orchid Evenings will enjoy the Garden after the sun sets. From 6:30 to 9 p.m., The Pine Tree Café will have beer, wine, cocktails, and snacks available for purchase alongside Latin Jazz served up by the Nick Russo Latin Trio. Each ticket includes one complimentary beer, wine, or cocktail, and each ticket specifies an entry time to experience The Orchid Show: Chandeliers in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Entry times for the Conservatory are at 6:30, 7, and 7:30 p.m., but once inside visitors are free to stay as long as they please to enjoy the spectacle of thousands of hanging orchids, the sound of live DJs, and a quick touch-up by one of Guerlain’s famed make-up artists. Take a selfie in front of the orchid wall and tag it #GuerlainOrchid for a chance to win Guerlain getaways!
The Orchid Evening on March 19 will be our next LGBT Night. Since its successful launch during Bar Car Nights, LGBT @ NYBG has sought to invite the Garden’s friends in the LGBT community to enjoy a welcoming and festive atmosphere for one evening per exhibit.
