Learn meditative and mindful drawing, printmaking and sculptural techniques, scientific observation with plant portraiture, nature-inspired intuitive artmaking and mixed media exploration, and other various practices from botanical and ecologically-focused contemporary artists to create works of art to nurture your relationship to the garden.Immerse yourself in the learning garden, greenhouse, and across Riverbank State Park's green roof overlooking the Hudson River to create artwork that is rooted in place and in partnership with plants.Workshops are rain or shine.When inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.Accessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths, and the entrance is through a gate with a small, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use, and while we try to cook without peanuts, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers.Our closest bathrooms are a building away, about a one-minute walk. A gender neutral bathroom is also available, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff. We are not a scent-free zone, and because herbalism classes take place here, cannot guarantee that the site will be clear of any essential oil smells. If you have needs not addressed here, please reach out to Mallory Craig at mcraig@thehort.org. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/art-in-the-garden-sunshine-in-a-bottle/100001996255541061 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, fine-arts, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: The Greenhouse and Education Center at Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: The Greenhouse and Education Center at Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park - **lat**: 40.8264806 - **long**: -73.95600050000002 - **full address**: The Greenhouse and Education Center at Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park, 679 Riverside Dr, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Art in the Garden: Sunshine in a Bottle - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/9f788a728673bc2772a0347e13645b2f928e48e30d23d949c7ed8a94c73e014e-rimg-w1200-h600-dc080808-gmir.jpg?v=1785820212 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Art in the Garden: Sunshine in a Bottle being held? - **A:** Art in the Garden: Sunshine in a Bottle takes place on Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Thu, 17 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm at The Greenhouse and Education Center at Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park, 679 Riverside Dr, New York, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Art in the Garden: Sunshine in a Bottle? - **A:** Art in the Garden: Sunshine in a Bottle is organized by The Horticultural Society of New York. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
