In August, we took a paddle-with-a-purpose down the Bronx River, New York City’s only freshwater river.

We also welcomed a new family to the Family Garden.

In the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden, Ana Boži?evi? read us her beautiful poem “Rose Hopscotch”–part of the Garden’s Literary Audio Tour–on one of the hottest days of the year.
We also looked into the past and learned about the Floral Flyer, the predecessor to the Garden’s current Tram.

And finally, in August we emerged from a close call with Tropical Storm Irene with only a few scratches. If only we had known what lay ahead!
