Snow in November. Is it fall or winter? According to Sarah Paulson, the Assistant Manager of the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, the pumpkin sculptures still in place after our Halloween festivities are embracing winter with a very slow, very still snowball fight.
The New York Botanical Garden is a museum of plants, an educational institution, and a scientific research organization. Founded in 1891 & now a National Historic Landmark, it is one of the greatest botanical gardens in the world. http://www.nybg.org/

Our weekday high school Explainer Mary McGlade made this art object as a thank you gift for us! She said she was inspired by Patrick Blanc’s vertical gardens (the inspiration for this spring’s Orchid Show). Mary is graduating from the Summit School and is on her way to study nursing at Drexel University this fall.

Pictures from (what turned out to be) a beautiful late-January day.
Says Sarah Paulson, Coordinator of Teen Programs in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, “Hellebores are opening and daffodils are coming up in Plant Part Paradise! Bulbs are also popping up between bald Cyprus knees on Adventure Trail!”
Oh, and there’s ducks, even more ducks than yesterday!

Gingerbread Adventures is a tasty part of the Garden’s annual Holiday Train Show. This year Kate Sulllivan of Cake Power will be making a “Dog House” that will be on display in the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden. Is that a green-roof we see? (Or perhaps a green-woof?)

Debris from the storm. We were hit hard, unfortunately. On a positive note, I am now able to collect interesting treetop specimens for the kids to explore. (Taken with Instagram at New York Botanical Garden)

Double Duck
As long as the ducks can stand the sound of schoolkids having a blast learning about nature …
The marsh surrounding the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden is a pretty sweet place to live.

As I was wandering through the garden looking for fruit and seed specimens, I happened upon some striking fall colors. Had to stop and snap a photo. (Taken with instagram)

This swamp white oak was planted one year after the towers fell. Today it has been turned into a space for both children and adults to share their hope for the future. (Taken with Instagram at Everett Children’s Adventure Gardens @ NYBG)
