Nifty Wild Medicine factoid: it’s been found that residents of the islands east of Panama, who drink a lightly-processed cocoa beverage up to five times a day, are almost entirely free of hypertension. Researchers lean toward the chocolate as a prime suspect in this discovery, though I’m guessing most of us don’t need a peer-reviewed report to justify buying ourselves a treat now and then. Just remember to go for the real thing—at least 70% cacao!
Check out our cacao-focused table in the Conservatory when you visit, and be sure to keep an eye out for the pods growing in our cacao trees.

Summer zen, just a sit and a daydream from wherever you are now.

These great Instagram shots were snapped a while back by our friend Rafi, one of our Horticulture staffers, and they’re a solid reminder to everyone out there clicking away in the Garden that we’d love to see your stuff. Whether you’re submitting atmospheric DSLR shots to our NYBG Flickr group, or tweeting us your Instagrams, never be afraid to show us your perspective!

It’s June 19, and that can mean only one thing (at least this year): the Greenmarket is back. Thought I’d prime you with a shot from our Home Gardening Center. In any case, hope to see you all out near Tulip Tree Allée today!

Nothing subdued, or coy, or hesitant to be found in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. Just a mouthy spring, shouting its rainbow.

The Native Plant Garden doesn’t want you to think the nascent foliage seen in early spring was the best it could do, so it’s sending along new headshots.

Summer: confirmed. We’re mentally circling Daylily Walk on our Garden maps, and you wouldn’t be blamed for doing the same!
