Oh the colors! They sing! ~AR

So soothing …

This wonderful grape holly looked refreshingly autumnal on a hot, muggy day at the NYBG (New York Botanical Garden)
I miss the aroma of these along the Ladies’ Border in February. ~AR
Memorial Day 2021 @NYBG. I love this place. So happy to be a member. The Monet’s Garden is gorgeous.
We’re happy to have you as a Member! Beautiful shots, thank you for sharing them with us! ~AR
New York City Department of Parks & Recreation just unveiled a new view of our city. The interactive map displays markers for each time a visitor checks in to one of over 1,250 NYC Parks locations using the foursquare mobile app. These visitors can get tips of fun and interesting…
The Garden is not on this map (which I think is really cool), because as a botanical garden, we are not a park. But that shouldn’t keep you from checking-in at the Garden or at any of our gardens and exhibitions. ~AR

What the ring says! ~AR
Today, however, we saw the New York Botanical Gardens in its full, magnificent and unparalleled glory. Pictures will never describe these views, nor reproduce the wind through the trees or the scent of thousands of blooms.
Brandon, the blogger behind A New York Family may feel that his photographs can’t describe how beautiful a day spent at the Garden can be, but in an interesting turn on the old adage, his words sure can! Thank you Brandon & family for visiting and for spreading the word. What a perfect encapsulation of a day at NYBG! ~AR
I really like this post about stinging nettles. I like stinging nettles, I don’t even mind being stung by them, especially because—like Lynn—I think they are delicious. But what I like most about this post is Lynn’s meditation on the wildness of nature versus the planned beauty of a garden. What she says is smart, and I think it’s one of the reasons working at the Garden resonates so strongly with me; you get both here. There’s the incredible planned beauty of the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden, and when that’s too much, there’s the sublime natural beauty of the Forest, the largest remnant of the primeval woods that once covered all of New York City. Oh, and there are nettles, too, but I can’t tell you where! ~AR
Honestly, I think these photos by Jen Kim are almost more beautiful than Monet’s Garden. Almost ….
Each time I go to New York’s Botanical Garden, I never leave empty handed and when I go home I always bring something to plant. That’s right to plant! This is a rosemary plant that I purchased at the garden shop while visiting the Orchid Show this past April. Perfect for the garden!
I sympathize. Taking a lunchtime stroll over to Shop in the Garden just to “check out what’s new,” you know, as part of my job, is a danger to my wallet. My office windowsill has reached peak capacity, as has the one in my apartment! And yet, I keep going back. Someday I’ll learn self restraint … someday. ~AR

“These landscapes of water and reflections have become my obsession. They are quite beyond the powers of an old man, and despite everything I want to succeed on conveying what I feel.”
Claude Monet to Gustave Geffroy,1883
It’s pretty cool how the reflections play off each other in the Palm Dome pool, and you really captured it! ~AR
No matter where you are, you can now enjoy Monet’s gardens with the Monet’s Garden free app tour, created by the New York Botanical Garden in collaboration with the Metropolitan Museum. The tour is part of the NYBG in Bloom app.
Discover beautiful photos and paintings, learn more about the connections between Monet’s art and his gardens, and if you’re feeling inspired, use the app’s “Impressionist Lens” feature to capture your own art.
Oh wow! Thanks NYC GOV! And let’s not forget, the technology for the app was Made in NY by Local Projects! ~AR
Two of our favorite things combined: The Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden at peak bloom, and the Impressionist Lens feature in our NYBG in Bloom app!
How’d we get that pic? We sent our digital media specialists 40-feet into the air in one of our bucket trucks! We’ll do anything for a great shot! ~AR
This is awesome! I have always wondered whether woodpeckers get headaches or brain damage from all their insistent pecking. Turns out, they don’t, and it also turns out that some of my own half-baked reasoning (usually dreamed up while trying to get back to sleep after being awoken by one banging away on the bedroom’s external walls) including bone density and anatomical buttressing, are in fact true.
What does this have to do with the Garden? Well, we have a lot of woodpeckers, including a very rare Pilleated Woodpecker which was spotted recently in the Garden for the first time in 73 years. Want a chance to see him (or her?), come along for one of our free Saturday morning Bird Walks! Bring your binoculars! ~AR
