The turnout this year has been massive, and while that makes for a top notch party, it also means that tickets to these special evening engagements are becoming scarce. If procrastination has been your status quo for the first two Bar Car Nights, now is the time to get jump on the opportunity! <a title=\"NYBG Tickets\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/visit\/tickets.php\">Register your tickets online<\/a> to be sure you get a spot for December 22&#8217;s night of cocktails, elegance, and the glow of the <a title=\"Holiday Train Show\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/exhibitions\/2012\/holiday-train-show\/index.php\"><em>Holiday Train Show<\/em><\/a>&#8211;one of New York&#8217;s most beloved seasonal traditions.<\/p>\n<p>In other major news, the Garden&#8217;s ongoing events are drawing such impressive crowds that we have decided to free up our schedule, opening the gates on Mondays through the end of the year to accommodate all of our visitors. That means you can join us a full seven days a week, at least up until the <em>Holiday Train Show<\/em> packs it in for the season.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Kevin&#8217;s rounds don&#8217;t limit him to the <a title=\"Enid A. Haupt Conservatory\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/gardens\/conservatory\/\">Enid A. Haupt Conservatory<\/a>, much as our <a title=\"Plant Talk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/blogs\/plant-talk\">Plant Talk<\/a> fans love to catch him there. Over in the <a title=\"Shop in the Garden\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nybgshop.org\">Shop in the Garden<\/a>, he joins Maria Colletti for an introduction to our terrarium selection, something home horticulturists and gift givers alike are welcome to take advantage of. If you&#8217;re interested in piecing together your own plant world under glass, but can&#8217;t make it to the Shop to consult our experts, Conservatory Manager Christian Primeau is <a title=\"Plant Talk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/blogs\/plant-talk\/2012\/12\/tip-of-the-week\/christian-primeau-talks-terrariums\/\">more than glad to get you caught up in this video<\/a>.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='800' height='450' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t58O1e-K3zA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be continuing to update <a title=\"Plant Talk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nybg.org\/blogs\/plant-talk\">Plant Talk<\/a> with more from Kevin Character and the many staffers who call the NYBG home.
