There are few places as conducive to reflection as the bridge overlooking the Stone Mill, the Bronx River passing it by.

Sundays are an especially good time for green. Especially a green dappled by sunlight.

The daydreamy colors of the Azalea Garden’s spring bloom have peaked and are on their way back down. The last of the fireworks aren’t at all quiet, of course.

Spot the lone fowl taking time out for some sunbathing. That or he’s claimed his new throne.

Fun fact: the tree peonies overlooking the Rose Garden are about the size of cereal bowls. It’s easier to tell in person, of course.

Blue tends to be associated with sadness, though I imagine everyone will agree with me when I say that delphiniums loom large as an exception.

Alongside the tools of the gardeners themselves, the camera played an important role in supporting the growth of American landscape design in the 20th century. It was in the efforts of the photographers, several of whom are currently being highlighted during our Groundbreakers exhibition, that the styles of women like Farrand and Coffin met the public eye. Don’t forget to visit our LuEsther T. Mertz Library for an important exhibit on some of the women who made all of this possible!
