After 11 months of careful tending, this year’s kiku display is nearly ready for its big moment. 🌸👀

It takes a whole team of expert horticulturists here at the Garden to raise these Japanese chrysanthemums from seed to sculptural sensation, and the payoff is well worth it! Starting this Saturday, October 31, come see the results of their hard work in the Nolen Greenhouses, where you can explore this ancient floral art form through both traditional and contemporary designs.

It only lasts through November 15, so don’t wait! Get tickets: https://www.nybg.org/event/kiku/

We've got a surprise for you this weekend, and it's huge! In fact, it clocks in at 2,598 lbs. 🎃

This year's giant pumpkin comes to us from grower Woody Lancaster in Massachusetts, where it just broke the state record for weight—and it's now on view in all its orange glory here in our Visitor Center. Make sure you stop by to see it while you're here for autumn beauty this weekend, where you can explore our Día de los Mu***os trail with live music and crafts, plus set out into 250 gorgeous acres of fall foliage.

Get into the fall mood and spark a new interest with a wide variety of hands-on classes, all led by NYBG plant experts and working professionals!

Whether you're just starting a new hobby or further honing your skills, there's always something for you here in our community of plant people! https://www.nybg.org/event/fall-classes/

Fall colors are making moves at last! After keeping us on our toes for the first few weeks of the season, the Garden is now bright with golden hues. 💛🍁

Some of the most gorgeous leafing in the state is right here in NYC’s backyard. Come spend time hiking two miles of sun-dappled trails in our 50-acre Thain Family Forest, check out the vividly colorful Steinhardt Maple Collection, and be sure to follow the progress of all of the Garden’s fall beauty with our foliage tracker: https://www.nybg.org/garden/forest/fall-foliage-tracker/

Each and every day, NYBG scientists work around the globe to better our understanding of the natural world.

From the laboratory to the field and back again, stay tuned for deeper looks into our efforts to protect Earth’s precious biodiversity as C*D COP17, the ’s Convention on Biodiversity, kicks off today.
