One of the break-out stars of Plant Talk from years past, this mandevilla blooms like a floodlight in the Haupt Conservatory. Check out our post on how to overwinter your own!

The New York Botanical Garden’s LuEsther T. Mertz Library is home to a trove of botanical treasures—and not just of the written variety. Our Library also contains one of the country’s most extensive collections of nursery and seed catalogs, windows into the rich history of botany and horticulture that are valued as much for their incredible artwork as for their academic uses.
Thanks to a partnership with the U.S. Postal Service, you can now bring a bit of that art home in the form of 10 colorful new postage stamps from the Botanical Art Forever collection. Each one boasts a piece of artwork from a catalog published as early as the Garden’s founding in 1891 and up into the early 20th century. They’ll be available nationwide, so keep an eye out!

In the Ross Gallery of the Library Building, you’ll find the photography of Larry Lederman, whose efforts to document the Garden’s beauty in all seasons have led to quite the stunning collection. See it this year as we celebrate our 125th Anniversary!

Saturday’s blizzard made for quite the scene at the Garden over the weekend, with feet of snow painting the landscape white. And while we were closed to give our grounds staff time to cut a path through it all, we’ll be open again this Tuesday for all to come and enjoy the winter scenery!

Hints of what was once an unseasonably warm winter still remain here and there, as we head into what may be quite the snowy weekend.

Days remaining in the Holiday Train Show are into the single digits now, but no worries—we’re making the most out of them. We’ll be open for the long weekend with activities planned for Monday, January 18, the final day of the exhibition. And if you haven’t had an opportunity to join us for a Bar Car Night this year, you’re just about out of time! A few tickets still remain for our final evenings on Friday and Saturday, January 15 and 16.
