The bark of an old pine. It’s almost a geography lesson.

We’re in the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden this weekend with Sonia Uyterhoeven, Gardener for Public Education, chatting about all things roses–basic grower tips, late-season care, and award-winning varieties included. Stop by at 2 p.m. on Saturday or Sunday for the enlightening demonstration.

Don’t miss out on this weekend’s Perennial Garden tour at 12:30 this Saturday! Along with the Rose Garden, it’s one of the prime Garden spots to see fall flowers before the snow sets in. (Assuming we even see any this winter.)

Morning Eye Candy: A Bronx Breakfast

Posted in Around the Garden, Photography on September 25 2012, by Matt Newman

We don’t keep chickens at The New York Botanical Garden. Not yet, anyway. But elsewhere, well, that’s another story. The Bronx is becoming a hub for urban agriculture, and many community gardens around the borough have cleaved not only to edible gardens, but to rooftop beehives, goats, and even chicken coops. You’ll get a taste of the movement when you join us for an Urban Farm Tour, the most recent of which took place on August 18; keep it here for updates on future events.

And with that, summer is nothing but a fond memory. It’s not yet October and already the air is brisk and the leaves changing fashions. Thanks goes out to Amy Weiss of the NYBG‘s Steere Herbarium for capturing the change in action.
