Visiting the Native Plant Garden right about now might bring a certain small cottage amidst a grassy landscape to mind.

This Weekend: A Labor Day Lark

Posted in Around the Garden on August 29 2014, by Matt Newman

As one of the last gasps of summer, Labor Day weekend is a chance for NYBG to throw open its gates on a Monday and welcome everyone for what tends to be the closing week of our summer exhibition. And this year, things are no different—we’re rapidly approaching the September 7 end of our Groundbreakers exhibition! If you haven’t found a moment to get away and visit us here in the Bronx, now’s as good a time as any and maybe even better.

Those of you with kids in tow will be happy to know that we’re going full-tilt in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden with our SousaKazooza events, the last of the season. Bring your little ones for some music, marching, and crafts to keep them busy. And for the adults, we’re still offering our full suite of Groundbreakers events alongside a sweeping schedule of tours—Azalea Garden, Rock Garden, Conservatory, Native Plant Garden and Garden Highlights among them—to help you make the most of your afternoon.

Head past the jump for the full schedule, and don’t let the last few weeks of warm sunshine get away from you!

Morning Eye Candy: Moonlighting

Looks like Groundbreakers‘ moon gate is moonlighting on the Bronx River. We’re almost into the very last week of our summer exhibition, so if you haven’t found the opportunity to pay us a visit, now’s a great time!
