January at Wave Hill

In the Gardens
With colder temperatures, many visitors spend more of their Wave Hill visit indoors in the Marco Polo Stufano Conservatory, which is made up of three houses: a central Palm House, a western Tropical House—highlighted above—and an eastern Cactus & Succulent House. Bundle back up and head outside to view the fourth glasshouse, the T.H. Everett Alpine House, north of the Herb & Dry Gardens. Unlike the other three houses, the Alpine House is only viewable from outside. These houses highlight different climates and a collection of floriferous and unique plants with a staggering range of natural colors, shapes and beauty!
