There’s some fantasy to be found in the shade of the dogwoods. They’re what’s popping among the Garden’s flowering trees this week—and they’re hard to miss.

Happy Arbor Day! There is no better time to show love for trees than during flowering tree season. Right now the crabapples have picked up where the cherry blossoms left off with their own colorful display—and that’s only the beginning of what’s beautiful now at NYBG!
The 25th Anniversary Antique Garden Furniture Fair opened last night with its festive Preview Party, and this weekend’s visitors can admire fine antiques and treasures for the garden and the garden room from 30 leading exhibitors in the Conservatory Tent. On grounds, spring’s progress continues across NYBG’s historic landscape. The Azalea Garden is at 75% of peak color, and the newly-reopened Lilac Collection is debuting its fragrant blossoms for the enjoyment of visitors. View highlights from across the Garden in the gallery below, and plan your visit today!

125 years ago today, on April 28, 1891, The New York Botanical Garden was established by an act of the New York State Legislature. Over a century later, we’re still growing! Come visit our recently reopened and expanded Lilac Collection for a whiff of spring.
