Antique Garden Furniture FairThe Antique Garden Furniture Fair opened last night with the annual Benefit Preview Party & Collectors’ Plant Sale, an elegant evening for admiring beautiful pieces for the home and garden while enjoying fine cocktails. Connoisseurs of the arts, or simple garden enthusiasts, can enjoy a similar soiree this Saturday at our all new Young Collectors’ Night. Tickets are available now, and entitle guests to a complimentary glass of champagne!

The Fair is open to All-Garden Pass ticket-holders throughout the weekend, so come admire the antiques on display after enjoying a brisk spring walk through the pink and white petals cascading from our flowering trees. The flowering cherries have joined the magnolias on grounds to brilliant effect, and this weekend is the best time to take in this dramatic phase of the spring season.

Click through for more information about the Antique Garden Furniture Fair, plus the full schedule of weekend tours and programs.

This Saturday: NYBG’s First Young Collectors’ Night at the Antique Garden Furniture Fair

Posted in Programs and Events on April 20 2015, by Lansing Moore

AGFF-2015-logo-273x188Yesterday marked the close of this year’s triumphant Orchid Show—which also means the end of Orchid Evenings for the season. But with the days getting longer and the nights getting warmer, it’s a wonderful time of year to come enjoy an evening event at the Garden. That’s why this Saturday, as part of our popular annual Antique Garden Furniture Fair, we are pleased to invite you to our first Young Collectors’ Night—an evening in the Conservatory Tent with cocktails, refreshments, and centuries of classic design inspiration for the home and garden from more than thirty established vendors.

Your ticket includes one complimentary glass of champagne as you explore the treasures on display while enjoying the sounds of the Dolce Ensemble. Further refreshments and drinks from Stephen STARR will be available for purchase throughout the event. Tickets are available online, like all of our popular evening events—but this party will be one night only! We hope to see you there.
