Both the BBG and the NYBG are inviting people out to enjoy summer on their grounds. One invites you to look down, the other to look up...

 
 

The NYBG is holding evening concerts and a chance to view their gardens at a time when their grounds are normally closed. It also the time to look down into their conservatory pools and appreciate their spectacular collection of lotus and waterlily blossoms. The next Waterlily Concert Series dates are July 19 and 26th, from 6-9 (free for members - yay!).

The BBG will be asking you to look up into the great canopies of our city's giant trees, providors of cool summer shade and perfect picnic spots, with their 'Big City Big Trees' program. Today, July 14th, is their Celebration Day, and there are many activities planned:

• Schedule of todays BBG events can be found here.
• They also have a beautiful slideshow here, along with more info. on our city's BIG TREES.

Enjoy your weekend!
