A special convergence of seasons happens every March at Wave Hill. As spring awakens in the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere performs its finale before the winter slumber. Bulbs from around the world are blooming here at Wave Hill: brilliant peacock-iris from South African inside the Palm House and dainty snowdrops in the gardens. Meet all indoor and outdoor flowering bulbs and get a sneak peak behind the scenes where bulb care occurs.

Severe weather cancels.

About the Plantwise Walk Series:
A series led by Jess Brey, Wave Hill’s Senior Horticultural Interpreter, each “walk and talk” will focus on a specific group of plants, encouraging a deeper relationship with some of the special plants that grow at Wave Hill. Topics explored may be nomenclature, ethnobotany, history and plant culture, such as pruning, germination and propagation. As the series title indicates, this is a program for the curious; adult participants with some plant knowledge will get the most out of these programs.

Walks follow a variety of routes along mixed-material pathways and varying elevations.
