Wildflowers of New York City: Andrew Garn in Conversation with Michael Hagen
NYBG's annual Earth Day celebration highlights the Garden's central work to advocate for the plants of the world and offers visitors a beautiful space to honor our surroundings.
This year, join photographer and author Andrew Garn as he shares his explorations of the flowering wildlife of New York City. From the swamps of Staten Island, the dense forests of Central Park, marshes of Jamaica bay, the rocky hills of the Bronx, and many sidewalk cracks along the way, Garn introduces over 2,000 wildflowers in his beautiful book, Wildflowers of New York City. His photography invites us to look and then look again—to appreciate the marvels of nature that we might have otherwise passed by.
Following his visually stunning presentation, Garn will be joined by NYBG's Curator of the Native Plant Garden and the Rock Garden Michael Hagen for a conversation highlighting the importance of wildflowers in our urban habitats. In person at NYBG.
Time: 11:00 EDT
