This is a blog post I wrote about my trip to the Garden. I thought you may like it.
Boy do we! Thanks so much for taking the time to visit us and to write about it, too! It may sound corny, but it’s true; I love seeing how you, our visitors, see the Garden. You always spot something I have missed, or see something in a completely new way. You guys are so inspiring! Thank you and keep them coming! ~AR

Robin Lane Fox, the esteemed garden columnist of the U.K.’s Financial Times asks a very important question of the Garden’s curator of Glasshouses, Francesca Coelho, the “genius of all this planting,” also known as Monet’s Garden. Read his full review.
Professor Paul Hayes Tucker is the curator of Monet’s Garden and the world’s premier Monet scholar. He’s also an amazing person to talk to (I know, I got to spend several hours just listening to him talk about Monet while we were filming this video). Follow him and listen in as he shows a reporter from ArtInfo.com around our landmark exhibition. ~AR
Floanne—channeling Parisian chanteuse Edith Piaf—was the performer at our first Monet Evening featuring Water Lily Concert. There are two of these spellbinding evening events left, and due to the high demand, we have been able to add additional tickets! Get yours now before they sell out again!
“I think that if you could manage to inhale the fragrance of the roses and lilies in the Conservatory while simultaneously repeating lines of Verlaine’s poetry, you could transport yourself directly from the Bronx to Monet’s home at Giverney or at least to late nineteenth century France.” (via Monet at the New York Botanical Garden | The Gardener’s Apprentice)
The lotus are so beautiful this year. Monet tried growing lotuses at Giverny, but they failed, so he concentrated on water lilies. ~AR

Stay tuned! We hope to be producing a video with our horticulturists soon that will tell you everything you need to know so that you too can have your own, beautiful water lily pot at home! ~AR
@nybg #monetsgarden I want a flower pot water lily garden!! (Taken with Instagram at Monet’s Garden at The New York Botanical Garden)

Hate flying? Wallet feeling a little thin? Boss has you tied to your desk? Never fear! You can still visit the world’s 17th most beautiful museum (as chosen by the editors of Flavorpill) without ever leaving the five boroughs. Monet’s Garden, our homage to the great Impressionist painter’s incredible garden runs through October 21. Bonus: The water lilies are in full bloom! ~AR
My name is Ann, and I endorse the wearing of flat shoes and sparkly nail polish at the Garden. Thank you Lilit for solving our fashionista conundrums! ~AR
Here’s a gallery of things to wear to the Monet Evenings at the New York Botanical Garden. Since I wrote it, it obviously includes flat shoes and sparkly nail polish.
I think it’s time to issue a challenge: Who can get us a picture of the original Monet’s Garden (you know, the one in France) using the ‘Impressionist Lens’ feature on our app?
Let’s use the hashtag #NYBGiverny. And if you manage this cross-continental feat, tweet us, post to our Facebook wall, tag us in Instagram, or photo reply to this post!
If we get more than one picture, we’ll throw together a post on our blog, and maybe if we get enough entries we’ll put together some kind of prize or something. I have no idea if this is going to work, but I’m sure hoping so! ~AR
