A 28-Acre Riverdale Garden Above The Hudson And Palisades
Rare plants and contemporary art fill a 28-acre Riverdale estate that looks out over the Hudson River and the Palisades.
🌿 Along the bluff
Wave Hill is a 28-acre public garden in Riverdale, set on a sloped Bronx estate that looks across the Hudson River to the New Jersey Palisades. The grounds hold carefully cultivated flower gardens and an unusual collection of botanical specimens, and the Glyndor Gallery adds rotating contemporary art shows and community programs. Benches along the pergola line up with the river, turning a slow loop of the lawns into the main event. Paths wind past the aquatic garden and conservatory, and the whole estate keeps a quiet, unhurried pace well suited to a long afternoon.
