I made my way out to the The New York Botanical Gardens to see the exhibition "Darwin's Garden, an Evolutionary Adventure" last weekend. Much of it spreads through the gardens and is more about interpreting the existing gardens. This was particularly interesting when walking through the tropical rain forest and moss rooms. Science facts, tales of his life and explanations of eco-systems was a great way to re-experience the gardens. His gardens (and the views of them from his house) are stunning, with lots of foxgloves, delphinium, and poppies. He had over 100 vines growing, as he was fascinated with their growing patterns and their desire to stretch upwards. His kitchen gardens are recreated and will evoke envy (keep in mind, this is a very climate controlled situation), and you get to look down cupped plants with magnified lens and get a "bug's eye" view of their stamens. The exhibition is up until June 15th and it's really worth the trip and would be great for children.
