\"Colocasia<\/a>Visitors to the Garden will notice a number of small installations throughout the grounds as part of our new\u00a0Curator’s Spotlight<\/a> series.\u00a0Behind the many gardens and collections that make up NYBG’s 250 acres is a legion\u00a0of dedicated horticulturists\u00a0and passionate\u00a0curators, and for this new series we invited them to choose their own subject to focus on from the plant kingdom.<\/p>\n

There is so much to see in the\u00a0vast diversity of the Garden. Who better to guide our visitors and direct their attention to some of the individual beauty on display than the people who cultivate\u00a0it? See the Garden through the eyes of its experts in this new video for Curator’s Spotlight, in which Kevin Character overviews some of the fun new installations our curators have dreamed up. Hear from our own Christian Primeau, Manager of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory<\/a>,\u00a0on why he chose to highlight the whimsical\u00a0colocasia<\/em>, also known as elephant’s ear.<\/p>\n
