Shinnecock Oral History Plant Tour
Chenae Bullock, a member of the Shinnecock Nation, leads a walk through the Native Flora Garden, with plants explained through Indigenous traditional ecological knowledge. A small, specific tour.
Outdoors this weekend
Outdoors — change
Before New York: Staten Island
Dr. Eric W. Sanderson reconstructs the original forests, wetlands, and waterways of the place and ties them to today's flooding, climate resilience, and environmental justice.
Crime and Catastrophe Trolley Tour
A themed trolley tour of true crime and disaster stories, from a mentalist allegedly killed by autopsy to mob boss Albert Anastasia and the Hall-Mills murders.
Revolutionary Spirits
A trolley tour of the cemetery's Revolutionary War figures and early distillers, then on to a whiskey tasting: rye straight off the still, a pour from the barrel, and barrel-aged maple syrup.
Ancestral Ecologies
Four multisensory installations from the Heidi Nitze Art × Environment Fellows, each using a different environmental or material phenomenon to explore animist ways of seeing the living world.
Block by Block: Streetscapes
Stoops and streetscapes from the Greenest Block in Brooklyn winners, rebuilt on the garden's grounds and co-created with the gardeners who grew them. Plenty of ideas for your own stoop.
Growing America
American history told through food plants: historic botanical illustrations, planting ledgers and cookbooks inside, then outdoor beds tracing Indigenous foodscapes through the Great Migration.
