Morning Eye Candy: A Red Snake Shows its Colors
Posted in Photography on October 2 2014, by Lansing Moore
This red snake-bark maple is certainly living up to its name! Kiku opens today, but not all of the attractions are in the Haupt Conservatory. NYBG has plenty of Japanese trees on grounds to complete your appreciation of Japanese gardening—and many of them are showing off some beautiful fall foliage.

Like Father, Like Daughter: Wayne and Meghan Cahilly
Posted in Adult Education on October 1 2014, by Plant Talk
With his signature mustache and disarming personality, Wayne Cahilly is known widely around NYBG as a beloved horticulturist, site historian, and instructor of tree management. But Wayne is also a talented photographer. In fact, as a 12-year-old, he spent his first paycheck from his first job on an instamatic camera. Many years and several cameras later, he passed his passion for photography on to his daughter, Meghan. Together, they’re teaming up to teach Fundamentals of Digital Photography at the Garden this month, for students with a fascination for nature.
These talented outdoor photographers have two unique perspectives that will serve as a double whammy for photography students.
As he graduated from camera to camera, Wayne taught himself how to capture landscapes and other natural elements in compelling photographs. He eventually turned his expertise in arboriculture and his passion for photography into a consulting business in forensic arboriculture.
