Darwin’s Garden: An Evolutionary Adventure
Join CFI-NYC for a group tour of the New York Botanical Garden's latest exhibit, Darwin's Garden: An Evolutionary Adventure, an exhibit replicating Darwin's botanical work and more of Darwin's Down House experiments. The stunning, multipart exhibition totals 33 stops, spread throughout about half of the garden's 250 acres. Visitors who enter the exhibition through the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory will encounter a replica of a room in Darwin's house, designed so they can look through the window, as he did, to a profusion of plants and bright flowers: hollyhocks, flax and of course primroses, what Todd Forrest, the garden's vice president for horticulture, calls "a typical British garden." Read more in the NY Times' recent article about the exhibit.
To RSVP and for more information, call Tasha Williams-Dantzler at (212) 504-2935, or e-mail nyc [at] centerforinquiry [dot] net.
