Wavehill Gardens

Wavehill, www.wavehill.org, a New York Public Garden. Just a bit north of the Cloisters, exit 21 off the Henry Hudson Parkway.

Switched to an iMac and have not yet found a blog tool I like yet, so here are photos without my blathering.

Wavehill is not as large as NY Botanical Garden or the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, but is more of a local park. There was yoga going on and family events, so if you live nearby, it would be ideal.

The alpine house was small and the trough garden area was smaller than I had expected it to be. The troughs don't look much different than my troughs, just bigger.
