Horticultural Exhibit
Don’t Miss the Edible Garden and Seasonal WalkEnd of summer means the New York Botanical Garden’s Edible Garden exhibit will soon be over ripe! Make your way up to the Bronx soon to see beautiful arrangements of fragrant tomato plants, leafy lettuce, exotic tropical fruits, and more. While you’re there, check out the Garden’s Seasonal Walk. Reviewing the attraction in the New York Times, Anne Raver writes, “observing this latest collaboration unfold from week to week is a revelation for any gardener.” The Walk is awash in colors, from neon green to hot pink, and each flower is hand chosen by master horticulturalist, Piet Oudolf. The Garden is closed on Mondays.
Time: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Place: New York Botanical Garden, 200th St. and Kazimiroff Blvd., Bronx
