Bronx, NY—Advance tickets are now on sale for …things come to thrive…in the shedding…in the molting… at The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG), a major site-specific exhibition of sculptural and horticultural installations by visual artist Ebony G. Patterson. On view Saturday, May 27 through Sunday, September 17, 2023, the exhibition is the result of a yearslong engagement with the Botanical Garden to explore its collections and settings. Patterson worked directly with the Garden’s grounds and resources to form a new body of work that includes sculptures, installations, and interventions with living plants, bringing her unique perspective on formal gardens to life in the galleries and landscape of the Garden’s 250-acre National Historic Landmark site.

About The New York Botanical Garden

Founded in 1891, The New York Botanical Garden is the most comprehensive botanical garden in the world and an integral part of the cultural fabric of New York City, anchored in the Bronx. Visitors come to the Garden to connect with nature for joy, beauty, and respite, and for renowned plant-based exhibitions, music and dance, and poetry and lectures. Innovative children’s education programs promote environmental sustainability and nutrition awareness, graduate programs educate the next generation of botanists, while engaging classes inspire adults to remain lifelong learners. The 250-acre verdant landscape—which includes a 50-acre, old-growth forest—and the landmark Enid A. Haupt Conservatory support living collections of more than one million plants. Unparalleled resources are also held in the LuEsther T. Mertz Library, the world’s most important botanical and horticultural library with 11 million archival items spanning ten centuries, and William and Lynda Steere Herbarium, the largest in the Western Hemisphere with 7.8 million plant and fungal specimens. Committed to protecting the planet’s biodiversity and natural resources, Garden scientists work on-site in cutting-edge molecular labs and in areas worldwide where biodiversity is most at risk.
