In person in the Haggerty Education CenterBarbara Frelinghuysen Israel founded Barbara Israel Garden Antiques in 1985, after a serendipitous purchase of a large collection of estate statuary led her down the garden antiques path. Now in her 38th year in business, Barbara is recognized as an authority on the subject. Her exhaustively researched book Antique Garden Ornament: Two Centuries of American Taste (1999), is the definitive work in the field. Barbara has served as a consultant to both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian Institution, and has sold pieces to the Winterthur Museum, the Smithsonian Institution and the Baltimore Museum of Art. Check out Barbara Israel's Facebook page, Barbara Israel Garden Antiques, for photos of some of the beautiful garden antiques exhibited at her Katonah, New York property. Or go to her website for more information: https://www.1stdibs.com/dealers/barbara-israel-garden-antiques/ A book signing and light refreshments will follow the presentation.

A Pineapple plant (Ananas comosus, in the Bromeliad family) is growing in a bed next to the Mansion by the Rose Garden and it has produced a fruit! The bed of tropical plants next to the Carriage House on the way into the Haggerty Education Center is a vibrant, colorful collection of Coleus, Croton, Banana and Colocasia surrounding a Sago Palm (Cycas revoluta) with its very symmetrical crown of dark green, glossy leaves. A tall, slender terracotta vessel is home to a spectacular Staghorn Fern (Platycerium). You can find it nestled in a shady corner next to the front steps to the Haggerty Education Center. Summer will soon be officially over, so make sure to visit the Arboretum soon!
