Join Jessica Damiano as she explores the history and horticulture behind the Old Westbury Gardens and The High Line.
Did you know that Old Westbury Gardens and its mansion were built in exchange for the acceptance of a marriage proposal or that there's a graveyard on its grounds? Or that if 500 New Yorkers hadn't died, there's a good chance The Highline Park wouldn't exist today? Join garden writer Jessica Damiano as she explores the fascinating history behind these two gardens, and discover the beautiful plant selections that make them stand out. Registration is required. Open to all.
