Hoppy October! May your garden cleanup and bulb planting activities be blissfully varmint free. And if it’s not, may your varmints at least be adorable! ~AR nypl: Happy first day of October! Since we’ve “hopped” into a new month (ha ha ha ha) we thought we’d share this 1894 cover of Harper’s magazine, celebrating October and drawn by Edward Penfield (check out more of his art in our collection). It’s currently in our Arts and Architecture Collection - enjoy, and have a great month!

"For example, the New York Botanical Garden started the Bronx Green-up revitalization program, and they helped plant hundreds of school and community gardens in struggling neighborhoods so that families could grow their own fresh produce."
