The Perennial Garden has a certain majesty in any season. Those benches never fail to offer a view.

After a long, meandering autumn, it’s finally winter. Any bets on whether we’ll see the long-overdue snowfall from last year?

Morning Eye Candy: Van Cortlandt

Van Cortlandt Manor was the first Holiday Train Show miniature that I saw, not long after I started working at the Garden. It’s still at the top of my list, I suppose–I’m a sucker for wraparound porches.

Bring on the winter! Tropical Paradise is just around the corner, meaning the snow will only make the Conservatory’s jungle plants and island flowers that much more brilliant to look at.

Gobbling through life’s endless Garden buffet, oblivious to tour, horticulturist, or passing camera lens. It’s not a bad life, I think.

Morning Eye Candy: An Island in Colorado

Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on December 18 2012, by Matt Newman

Coney Island may be a New York affair, but Michael Shannon saw no reason to let that stymie his homage in Colorado. The Coney Island hot dog stand, now a national landmark, was built in Denver in 1966. It currently stands in Bailey, Colorado. Of course, our miniature homage to the homage stands in the Holiday Train Show Artist’s Studio, alongside a number of famous landmarks from around the country–and the world.
