People Are Talking About…

Shrub RosesJune is renowned for roses, and plenty of media took note of the magnificent Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden. But beyond the roses, which will be in bloom through the fall, people across the Web were talking about The New York Botanical Garden.

  • The The New York Sun featured the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden with a front page photo. Don’t fret if you missed it; you can still read the accompanying story and browse a cool photo slideshow of a gorgeous afternoon in the Rose Garden.

  • While there is nothing more glamorous than a beautiful rose in full bloom, the people at Glam.com took notice that some of the products at NYBG Shop in the Garden are pretty snazzy in their own right. Reviewer Jennifer Kopf had plenty of nice things to say not just about the Rose Garden but also about the wide selection of terra-cotta pots, planters, and other garden-related items.

    •  

  • The New York Academy of Sciences Web site, Science & the City, listed the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden’s cooking demonstration Herbal Tea and Snack Sampling. Why not take their advice and come snack on savory eats and sip herbal tea, all from plants grown at the Family Garden, during July from 1 to 5:30 p.m.

  • Blogger Marie from Bethlehem, PA, documented her recent trip to NYBG with a rundown of her favorite spots in the Garden, complete with full-color pictures.
