Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanic Gardens

The exhibitions at the conservatory of the New York Botanic Gardens are always wonderful. They blend flowers with music or literature and show how the two are connected. Outside the exhibit are posters with winter poems by Billy Collins. Inside, they have the most beautiful recreations of buildings and bridges (existing or previously existing but razed in an era that was not concerned with preserving our architectural heritage) of New York City and surrounding areas, including Tarrytown. And the amazing thing is that these recreations are made out of natural fibers.

Walking around the garden afterward was equally mind boggling. The trees still had their colorful leaves. It was just beautiful. If you get a chance, treat yourself. I’m thinking of going back again after the holiday rush.
