Impressionism: American Gardens on Canvas is already shaping up to be a picturesque summer exhibition with all the right touches of classic horticulture—just ask the poppies.

Hundreds, thousands, millions of daffodils. (That’s the goal, anyway!) These sunny-faced beauties are blooming en masse throughout the Garden, lighting up Daffodil Hill, Daffodil Valley, and so many spaces in between, turning our 250 acres in New York City into the quintessential spring landscape.
The best way to experience it, of course, is with a glass of wine in hand—red, white, whatever your taste, we’ll have something to pique your palette this coming weekend, April 23 & 24. Our Daffodil & Wine Weekend is a great opportunity to take in the beauty of early spring, not to mention the good-and-getting-better weather.
While you’re here, purchase a wine sampling glass for a few dollars and visit a fleet of attending New York State vintners offering local wine tastings, winemaking demonstrations, and other presentations on their craft.

False starts and sudden bouts of cold may have confused New York’s plants for the first weeks of spring, but there’s no doubt that it’s here now. This weekend should be nothing but clear skies, sun, and easy, breezy weather for our plants to shake off the chill. And you’re welcome to do the same!
Stop in for this final weekend of The Orchid Show: Orchidelirium, closing Sunday, April 17. And if you’re in the mood for something a bit more moonlit, you can’t go wrong with our Orchid Evenings, the last of which happen tonight and tomorrow, April 15 and 16, from 6:30 to 9:30. It’s your last chance to see this kaleidoscopic exhibition under the Conservatory lights with a drink in hand—admittedly one of the better ways to take in the world’s most alluring flowers.

Capricious spring weather’s thrown us for a loop over the last few months, from warm, bloomy days to sudden cold snaps. But now that the weather seems to be evening out, we’re ready for a second spring—expect a flush of daffodils, cherry blossoms in Cherry Valley, and the welcome arrival of the crabapples over the next two weeks!

The armillary sphere in the Perennial Garden finds itself surrounded these days by a cornucopia of spring flowers, from tulips and daffodils to Viola in a variety of hues.
