EXHIBITIONS & SPECIAL EVENTS
Albert Camus wrote,
“Autumn is a second spring
when every leaf is a flower.”
Indeed, this can be witnessed
all across the Garden’s
historic landscape, home
to our 30,000 magnificent
trees. And then there are 50
beautiful display gardens, large and small,
including the fall-flowering Native Plant
Garden, and special collections such as the
roses, which are amazing from September
through late fall. Please come to enjoy all of
this on your own anytime, and don’t miss
special seasonal programs that feature walks
and talks, cooking and home gardening
demonstrations, harvest activities, and
much more.
Our spectacular autumn is followed by a
beloved New York tradition: the Garden’s
Holiday Train Show. Devoted visitors will
delight in more trains than ever before,
and first-timers are sure to start their own
family traditions during this annual display
of trains and historic New York buildings
made entirely of the parts of plants.
Upcoming exhibitions and events,
programs and classes, and trips and tours
are highlighted in the pages that follow.
I hope you and your family and friends
will take advantage of all our varied
offerings. We look forward to welcoming
you to one of America’s most beautiful
and fascinating places.

Inspired by the historic ginkgo that has thrived in London’s
Kew Gardens since the 1760s, Professor Peter Crane will
discuss the history of ginkgo from its mysterious origin through
its proliferation, drastic decline, and ultimate resurgence. He
will also highlight the cultural and social significance of ginkgo:
its medicinal and nutritional uses, its power as a source of
artistic and religious inspiration, and its importance as one of
the world’s most popular street trees, as explored in his new
book, Ginkgo: The Tree That Time Forgot, released in March
2013.
Professor Crane, Distinguished Counsellor to the Board of
The New York Botanical Garden, is Carl W. Knobloch, Jr.
Dean and Professor of Botany at the Yale School of Forestry
and Environmental Studies. His work focuses on the diversity
of plant life: its origin and fossil history, current status, and
conservation and use. From 1992 to 1999 he was director
of the Field Museum in Chicago and from 1999 to 2006 he
was director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Elected to
the Royal Society in 1998, he is also a fellow of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences, foreign associate of the U.S.
National Academy of Sciences, a foreign member of the Royal
Swedish Academy of Sciences, and a member of the German
Academy Leopoldina. In 2004 he was knighted in the U.K. for
services to horticulture and conservation.
Following the lecture, Professor Crane will sign copies of his
book, which will be available for purchase.
