It’s finally looking like a chill might be taking New York, or at least that’s the case this morning. Looking to the Conservatory’s tropical blueberries for some colorful inspiration.

Morning Eye Candy: In the Drifts

Happy holidays, everyone—it may not feel much like winter out there today, but the trees are still dressed for the season. From our Instagram feed Wednesday morning, the sketched silhouettes of trees in a drift of fog. Don’t forget to follow us there, where you’ll see highlights small and large from throughout the Garden and our exhibitions!

Heads up that we’re closed today, but we’ll reopen tomorrow for a three-day weekend (that includes Monday) of Holiday Train Show fun. Enjoy your day off!

The kumquats in the Conservatory have no qualms with winter. You might say they don’t even know it’s happening.

Redesigned last year, look for the glowing new rendition of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory in….well, the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. It’s a bit meta, but there’s no doubt that it’s one of the most beautiful and beloved landmarks in the Holiday Train Show!

Morning Eye Candy: The Shortest Day

Posted in Photography on December 22 2015, by Matt Newman

Happy winter solstice! Or what passes for one, anyway. While it’s supposedly the first day of winter—the shortest day of the year and the longest night, in fact—you’ll still find green lawns and the occasional early fall sky to look forward to when you visit NYBG. We anxiously await the first snowfall!

Throughout this year’s run of the Holiday Train Show, look for kid-friendly activities in our Adventure Garden, where Evergreen Express invites little ones to get hands-on with train puppets, scented sachet crafting stations, and more.
