Not quite enough candles to mark our 125th year, but this mullein along the Ladies’ Border certainly fits the bill as far as birthyear beauty goes.

It’s the first week of summer, and NYBG‘s 250 acres have filled in to create a verdant backdrop of petals and greenery, a living painting that invites you to explore its trails and collections. With the sun high and warm, the dappled shade of the Forest is that much more poetic. But if you love true verse, we’ve got something a bit more literal for you to take advantage of this weekend.
While Impressionism: American Gardens on Canvas continues throughout the Garden, Sophie Cabot Black will be joining us on Sunday for a special reading that should be the icing on the cake for our summer of paintings and poems. You can join her in the Perennial Garden at 2 p.m. that day to sit and enjoy. For more events and activities, visit our full calendar.
From the Rose Garden to the daylilies, the warmer months are really coming into their own. But if you’ve been outside in New York lately, you probably don’t need much convincing to realize how beautiful this season can be. Come enjoy it in the best possible place!

The Greenmarket is back today for the start of the 2016 season with strawberries, kale, zucchini, garlic, shell peas, cider, fresh-baked pies, and much more! Look for it each Wednesday, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., from now through November—right near our Mosholu Gate. You can’t miss the vendor tents, and you certainly can’t miss their colorful selections.
Don’t forget your reusable bags if you’ve got ’em!

It’s the first day of Summer 2016. Where are you breaking in your shorts, sandals, and shades?

Kale, strawberries, beets, cherries, and all sorts of baked treats—it’s the return of the NYBG Greenmarket, and it’s not far off!
We’re exactly one week away from the kick-off of this summer favorite, which opens with offerings from Gajeski Produce, Meredith’s Bread, Red Jacket Orchards, and Acevedo’s Farm next Wednesday, June 22, just two days after the official start of the new season. From that point on, you can expect to see our vendor tents set up at the end of Tulip Tree Allée—right inside the Mosholu Gate—every Wednesday, 9 a.m.–3 p.m., through late November.
