My World on Tuesday...Wave Hill Garden in the Bronx

I was lucky to have an outing to Wave Hill Garden , at Riverdale in the Bronx last week. We traveled there by bus from Inwood. And walked down the hill to the garden. Very easy. And a lovely walk also. Past this Episcopalian church.
Wave Hill sits on the edge of the Hudson River, overlooking the New Jersey Palisades of course!
There are many buildings, and hot houses, green houses.

Someone didn't choose a very good spot for her camera for the family photo shoot, did she Grandma? Oh well, at least someone else got a good photo!
A hot house full of cacti...
lots of flowers that I have never seen before...mostly the American temperate zone ones.

Some one enjoyed stretching his legs on the grass....
I am not quite sure why I put this photo in, apart from that NY is built on rock, isn't it?
Lovely outdoor gardens for wonderful weather. We chose one of the coldest days to go last week!

Well, everyone knows what this is.
Despite missing out on seeing the fabled Chinese Scholars Garden on Staten Island (closed by the time we got there because we had to wait over an hour for the 4pm ferry), we did get to see the rest of the Botanical gardens there, as well as a marvelous sunset on the way home. One that we had more or less planned for..
