This is an unusually quiet year-end for Wave Hill. The Family Art Project crew is taking a well-deserved break before launching into the new year. Glyndor Gallery is closed in preparation for our Winter Workspace studio program—look for a heads-up about open studio days starting in mid-January. And the landscape is falling into a deep winter sleep—unless the temperatures continue to veer up and down!
To my mind, this makes it a perfect time to visit and absorb the peace and quiet of this little gem of a garden.
