Calling all amateur arborists and horticultural hopefuls! Join Board Certified Master Arborist Kevin Wyatt and Green-Wood’s Curator of Plant Collections Joe Charap for this hands-on demonstration on how to effectively prune your trees and shrubs. A thoughtful and well executed pruning will keep your plants looking great and growing strong. You’ll practice using hand pruners, loppers, and pole pruners and learn the proper techniques behind sanitary, reduction, and developmental pruning. Participants will be working in Green-Wood on small trees and shrubs. Tools and protective equipment will be provided. |

It’s back! One of Green-Wood’s most popular events returns for one day only. We’re opening many of our most impressive and elaborate 19th-century mausoleums. Peek inside massive stone walls and elaborate iron gates as you step inside stunning examples of Green-Wood’s distinct architecture. At each stop, docents will offer a glimpse into the lives of the personalities who now rest in these opulent structures. Bring your sneakers and walk the route; a handy map is provided at the main entrance. |
Green-Wood’s public programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature, as well as the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
