“Travelling slightly further north to the Bronx provides an opportunity to visit Wave Hill, a horticultural oasis that feels miles away from New York City. The 28-acre estate has two houses whose gardens are home to a magnificent collection of plants with views across to the Hudson River… If you are an avid twitcher, the diversity of bird life here is something to look out for and I am always excited to spot a hummingbird darting from flower to flower.” - Financial Times, May 2023 “Pay a visit to ‘the most romantic place in New York City’ – the Bronx’s Wave Hill.” - YES Network Bronx Beat, June 2023 Wave Hill is a museum without walls with a living collection of more than 4,000 varieties of trees, shrubs, vines and herbaceous plants. It is the only public garden in the New York metropolitan area practicing a unique combination of classic horticultural craftsmanship and daring design. Wave Hill’s 28-acre site includes gardens, greenhouses and an 8-acre woodland. As you explore Wave Hill, please remember that it is a carefully cultivated garden, which is very different from a park.
