\"Springtrees<\/a>I joined NYBG as a young mother of three children. We participated in many activities throughout the years. My kids grew up and moved on, but whenever they return to NY we visit this wonderful place that is so imbedded into our hearts\u2014now creating new memories with our grandchildren by our side.<\/p>\n

When I remarried, my new husband and I exchanged our vows under a big old tree next to the Old Stone\u00a0Mill<\/a> in the garden. A more appropriate place we could not find. A memorable time was had by all that were able to join us for this wonderful event, now years later and they still speak of that magical moment under the stars.<\/p>\n

Not long after that I signed up for some courses that seemed interesting at the time and before I new it I had a Certificate in Landscape Design<\/a>. Now living my dream all thanks to this wonderful place that my family and I have enjoy for so many years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
