Spring Nature & Garden Programs
This spring, head outdoors and stretch your legs with a lively new season of guided garden walks and nature programs! All programs are free with admission to the grounds.
Join a Twain’s Trees Walk with Horticultural Interpreter Charles Day and admire some of our venerable, arboreal survivors from when Mark Twain lived at Wave Hill. Hear about the people who once called Wave Hill home on Wave Hill History Walks. Join Assistant Director of Horticulture Brian McGowan to learn about the Great Trees of Wave Hill: A View from the Top. Looking for ideas for what to plant in your yard? Try the walk Best Trees for the Small Garden.
This spring’s nature programs are geared toward the whole family! Hunt for early blooming flowers, creepy crawly critters and other garden creatures as they “spring” into life as naturalist and educator Gabriel Willow takes us on a Signs of Spring Family Walk. Join Hudson Highlands Nature Museum Environmental educator Carl Heitmuller for a presentation introducing Wave Hill’s squirrels—a favorite of former illustrious resident Mark Twain. Then head outdoors for an adventure to look for squirrel activity on the grounds.
