Don’t overlook the desert houses when you visit the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory for the Holiday Train Show. It may not be conventional holiday beauty, but it’s undeniable nonetheless.

It’s where we squirrel away all of our warmth. The squirrels–we keep them outside.

Yes, it’s edible. No, you can’t eat it! But you can certainly glean a few ideas from the masters when it comes to building your own gingerbread house this holiday season. Join us at the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden for Gingerbread Adventures, and have a look at the heights of this deliciously edible artform.

It’s bulb season! Our horticulturists are now in the process of sorting and planting all sorts of future beauties in the Home Gardening Center. But what about you? Got any special plans for your own spring flower beds?

There are countless differences between the NYBG and your local department store. Today, the fact that there aren’t hordes of people here trampling each other for a shot at an $8 waffle iron–well, it’s a pretty compelling one. The Garden is open on this particular Black Friday, and there’s a sale on soothing frayed nerves.

What’s the difference between a Garden turkey in summer, as you see here, and a Garden turkey in fall? Not a whole lot! They’re both content in the knowledge that they’re safe for the holidays.
The NYBG is closed today, but the gates will be open tomorrow if you feel like escaping the holiday shopping rush. Here’s to a happy, safe, and filling Thanksgiving from everyone here at The New York Botanical Garden!

To all of our friends scooting out of town for the coming holiday weekend, have safe travels! And to those of you staying in the city for this Thanksgiving, don’t forget that our Holiday Train Show is up and chugging right along in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. See you soon!

I know we said that this year’s kiku exhibition would only run through Sunday, November 18, but we’ve had a change of heart; the display is just too popular to draw the curtains on it! For now, the Bourke-Sullivan Display House will keep its doors open to the public through at least this Friday, November 23.
