This Weekend: At Summer’s Peak
Posted in Programs and Events on July 31 2015, by Matt Newman
With summer at its peak, there’s never been a better time to take a break from your sauna of a city apartment and head to NYBG—it’s a chance to get some walking in, stretch your legs, and enjoy the breezy shade!
The Garden right now is awash in greenery, from the swaying canopy of the Thain Family Forest to the wild abundance of Seasonal Walk. You’ll still find the Rose Garden blooming away, and the Perennial Garden is not only a place of poignant beauty, but of lyricism—our Poetry Walk features the writing of Octavio Paz in fine relief against the backdrop of flowers and foliage.
Not that the outdoor displays are all we have going on right now; FRIDA KAHLO: Art, Garden, Life continues to draw thousands of New Yorkers and travelers alike to our exhibition of horticulture, fine art, music, and dance, and now’s the season to experience it all—when the landscape so nearly matches the florid abundance of the artist’s paintings!

Seasonal Walk’s enthusiastic growth creates a spectacle of colors and shapes in summer, something we’re always willing to encourage as the lushness of the season takes center stage in the Garden.

While the Rose Garden may be garnering plenty of attention for its reds and pinks right now, missing the elegant hues of the hibiscus in the Home Gardening Center would be a mistake.

In what’s quickly becoming my favorite appearance of the year, the ‘Bridal Silk’ poppies of the Perennial Garden are once again touting the simple and clean.
