Orchid Evenings
Get a jump on spring with the return of Orchid Evenings. Each year the New York Botanical Garden transforms into a lush orchid rainforest with the gorgeous flowers cascading from 25-foot tall canopy palms, ferns, and tropical foliage. Notable this year, they are incorporating some storm-damaged trees from Hurricane Sandy. The evening hours start this Saturday and continues through April 20th.
