It’s been a trying week, but like everyone up here, we’re resilient! The Garden is open and many of our Fall Forest Weekend activities are still on the docket, so if you’re looking for a break from it all, join us Saturday and Sunday for some time under the fall foliage. Check out our event page for the current schedule!

Breaking up the Halloween…ness? …with some refreshing fall finds from the Native Plant Garden. We’re still photographing these behind a closed gate for now, but you can trust in my promise that this complex collection of displays and environments will be bliss central when it opens in 2013.

Oh, why hello there witch-hazel. It’s been a long time, hasn’t it?

They really do laugh uncontrollably and without cause while working in the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden. Well, all right, Ivo was probably telling a patently terrible joke at the time this photo was taken. Here’s a big thanks and hello to Annie Novak and Toby Adams, whose tireless efforts have kept us knee-deep in vegetables all through the summer and into fall. They’re buttoning up the Family Garden’s edible options until spring, but we’ll be waiting patiently for the next harvest!

Meanwhile, the evergreens prep for their stint in the winter spotlight. Our Forest doesn’t need Photoshopped lens flares to look this good.

November’s Fall Forest Weekends aren’t far off. Flip your calendar to next month and block off November 3, 4, 10, and 11 to join us in exploring what makes autumn in New York such a poignant experience. That said, you might want to register for our featured canoe trips through the Garden’s stretch of the Bronx River sooner, rather than later…

We once said that the mustachioed orchids of the Paphiopedilum genus remind us of the Swedish Chef, but official names occasionally give other impressions.

A little break from the Halloween imagery (with just enough orange and black in the mix to keep us in the spirit).
