\"The<\/a>While you’re out and about in the Garden this weekend, bidding fond farewells to our long-running Wild Medicine<\/em><\/a> exhibition, some of us will be busy sneaking and hiding. But don’t worry, it’s totally well-meaning\u2014fun even! And the results of our clandestine efforts should be pretty rewarding for those of you paying us a visit. Thanks to renowned writer Elizabeth Gilbert<\/a>, author of Eat, Pray, Love<\/em>, we’re holding a Botanical Garden treasure hunt, and everyone is welcome to join!<\/p>\n

\n

On Saturday, September 7, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., we’ll invite you to put on your sleuthing caps (they don’t have to be literal unless you’re feeling sassy) and take to the Garden in search of 10 redeemable vouchers hidden throughout our grounds. Each one collected will net the holder an advance copy of Elizabeth Gilbert’s newest novel and first return to fiction in 12 years, The Signature of All Things<\/em>, a sweeping tale of botany, exploration, and desire spanning the 19th century. And because we’re not about to let a prime treasure hunting opportunity pass us by without throwing our own prize in the purse, we’re supplementing each voucher with a $25 discount on the NYBG Adult Education<\/a> course of your choice.<\/p>\n

Just look for laminated sheets laid out around the Garden with a picture of the book’s cover\u2014you’ll know them when you see them. And if you’re one of the lucky few to come up with one, simply bring it to the Shop in the Garden<\/a> to redeem for your free, advance copy of The Signature of All Things<\/em> and your Adult Ed discount. If you’re not sure about something on Saturday, you can also feel free to ask one of our Visitor Center attendants for help.<\/p>\n

Remember, there are only ten vouchers to be found, so keep your eyes open!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
