Wave Hill Events October 21-October 28

Explore 28 acres of gardens, sweeping lawns and shady woodlands at Wave Hill this fall. From the Herb & Dry Gardens to the Flower Garden to the T. H. Everett Alpine House, you’ll find so many different pathways to explore. On Oct 24, join a Walk with the Gardeners, and learn about what designing a pathway in a garden really means. As part of Archtober–an annual architecture and design festival–Assistant Director of Horticulture Steven Conaway enlightens participants as to the artistic and practical choices that have guided pathway circulation at Wave Hill, both historically and in more recent projects.

And every week, we’re offering a Public Garden Highlights walk, Public Gallery Tours and Family Art Projects. Best of all, those sweeping lawns and shady woodlands invite you to slow down and relax. Friendly reminder: Thursdays are admission free!

When designing a pathway in a garden, there’s more to consider besides the route it will take and the material you will use. Paths shape the journey through the garden space and can make or break the experience. As part of Archtober—New York City’s Architecture and Design Month—Assistant Director of Horticulture Steven Conaway enlightens participants as to the artistic and practical choices that have guided pathway circulation at Wave Hill, both historically and in more recent projects. Space is limited. Archtober event.
