Garden Walk

Many plants, like the prickly pear cactus (Opuntia sp.) and Dioscorea elephantipes (elephant’s foot) are naturally protected with weapon-worthy spines or a thick coating of armor. Others, such as Sagittaria, have names that allude to armor-like aspects of their anatomy. 

On Ocotber 5Wave Hill Horticultural Interpreter  Charles Day will lead a tour of these denizens of the garden, all relevant to Bashford Dean, whose interest in both arms and ichthyology is the subject of the fall exhibition in Glyndor Gallery. 

This walk repeats October 10. Free with admission to the grounds.

Meet at the Perkins Visitor Center at 2 p.m.
