August 21: Horticulture on the High Line

PLANT YOUR FEET FIRMLY IN THE AIR!

Horticulture on the High Line

Tuesday, August 21 at 6 p.m.

Join SWINY’s first-ever nature exploration on New York City’s renowned 30-foot-high park and greenway. The Washington Post calls its horticultural variety “a perfect source of gardening inspiration.”

Along the High Line’s 1.45 miles, this custom tour will offer an in-depth look at the innovative biological and environmental planning that created it. Eric Rodriguez, High Line Horticulture Coordinator, will discuss

  • microclimates and other weather factors
  • species selection and sustainability
  • self-seeding properties of native plants
  • biodiversity

…and answer all your questions along the way.

SWINY’s private 90-minute event will cover as much ground as our informative stops and your curiosity allow.

Please join us on August 21. Make the High Line a highlight of your summer!
