We will overlook New York’s beautiful Hudson River on our next bus trip on THURSDAY,
MAY 14 to WAVE HILL, located in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. Stately WAVE HILL,
commanding picturesque views of the Hudson River and the towering Palisades, is an
historical site and an extraordinary horticulture garden. Aesthetic sensibility and human
experience of the natural environment are the horticultural emphasis of Wave Hill’s 28
acres of gardens, grounds and woodland. The resulting abundance is renowned for its
intimacy of scale and carefully cultivated serendipity.
We begin our day at 10:30 a.m. with a guided Garden Tour, focusing on seasonal
highlights and given by an experienced garden guide who will give an overview of the
carefully cultivated gardens and extensive collection of rare and unusual plants.
Following our garden tour, we will enjoy a box lunch consisting of assorted sandwich
selections, mixed green salad, North Fork chips and cookie, whole fruit, and bottled water
or canned soda.
At 2:00 p.m., we will enjoy a gallery tour and a spectacular art show on exhibit. The
Lightening: A Project for Wave Hill’s Aquatic Garden, is an immersive, outdoor installation
by acclaimed artist Chris Doyle. It consists of a group of sculptures that radiate animation,
light and sound into the Garden’s formal structure. Inspired by the Aquatic Garden’s water
lilies and reflective surfaces, The Lightening provides an electrifying experience.
Please keep in mind that we will be walking outside, rain or shine, so be sure to wear your
walking shoes.
The bus leaves Clark Botanic Garden promptly at 8:30 a.m. and returns at approximately
5:30 p.m. The trip goes forward “rain or shine”, and the cost is $85 for members and
$100 for non-members or guests.
Please register quickly as the trips fill up fast, and call me at (516) 484-8603 with any
questions and/or for further details. I look forward to seeing you on May 14th.
Sincerely,
Maria Morgan
