Haupt Conservatory.
Families in The Haunted Pumpkin Garden will enjoy three days of Halloween Parades in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden. Kids will also enjoy Scarecrow Weekend in the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden as they celebrate the harvest season with festive activities all across NYBG. All ages can learn about the conservation of one of Halloween’s most celebrated creatures, the bat, at our Gone Batty! Live Bat Encounter at the Clay Family Picnic Pavilions. The Perennial Garden will even host a live demonstration for making the perfect fall centerpiece.
Don’t forget that next weekend Ray Villafane returns to NYBG for our Pumpkin Carving Weekend. You won’t want to miss the chance to see his latest creepy creation come to life! Catch a sneak peek at Grand Central Terminal on October 17 when Ray will be there with his team, beginning work on a massive zombie carving.
