Tropical plants flourish in the Aquatic and Monocot Gardens during the summertime. Alive with diversity, the hum of insects, the rustle of leaves and the antics of fish skimming the water's surface animate this garden area. Guided by Wave Hill gardener Christopher Bivens, explore the design of these two formal gardens, where neatly trimmed hedges and symmetrical pergolas provide a framework for lush grasses, tropical plants and exotic water lilies. Wear your favorite sunhat! Severe weather cancels.

Registration required, online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251.
