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.

As of today, September 22, each and every sculpture has found its home in the Garden. Manolo Valdés: Monumental Sculpture will run through May 26, 2013, affording our visitors the opportunity to view the artist’s work as it was meant to be seen: through the lens of every seasonal landscape.

Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie —

One or two more months and the ginkgoes will be brightening city streets with their firefly autumn yellows. Also stinking them up, for that matter. But, hey, sometimes there’s give and take in nature’s beauty.

Here’s to a gratifying Monday, straight from Plant Talk HQ. Seriously, I’m waving from one of those windows.

Spend any time outside in the Garden this weekend and you’ll be hard-pressed to miss the work of Manolo Valdés. Trust me. The show officially begins September 22.
