Summer is coming, and Snug Harbor Cultural Center’s botanical gardens are hitting their stride

Horticulture

  • What’s blooming now at Snug Harbor? Our Rose Garden is awash with beautiful blooms, and we have irises in the White Garden in almost every shade of the rainbow.
  • Thanks to the support of the Northfield Bank Foundation, the 4,000 square foot Herb Garden has been rejuvenated as the cornerstone of Gazebo Road, and the trellis in the White Garden has also been improved and reinforced.
  • Did you know that there are lemon trees in our Tuscan Garden?  It’s true–catch these lusty citrus fruits and more on the Tuscan Garden Walk in July.

Want to visit the New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden in person? Hours of operation are Wed-Sun, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Admission is $5.

  • Summer is right around the corner….and so are tomatoes and cucumbers and melons!  It takes a lot of energy to create those colorful, juicy, delicious fruits.  At Living Soil: Soil Fertility for Crop Production on June 10, you’ll learn how to nourish the soil to support plants in developing your favorite fruiting crops and make this summer’s harvest the best you’ve ever had!
