Gramercy Garden Antiques Show
 |
The Gramercy Garden Antiques Show, which is coming up this Friday (March 3), features all sorts of garden ornaments, furniture, pots, planters, books and even a few (very few) plants. Last year there were enough ornate (read, uncomfortable) Victorian garden benches and chairs to make the point that something can be "antique" and "mass produced" at the same time. There are eighty exibitors, and in other years the booths have been decorated to evoke a romantic, slightly faded, garden fantasy. In the past, we at Citygardenguide have frequently found ourselves dreaming of how some of the truly beautiful pieces found at the show would look in our gardens. A glance at the price tags is always a sobering reality check. The $19 entrance fee includes a year's subscription to Garden Design magazine, and the proceeds from the Thursday night preview party (much more expensive) go to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. (Their Bronx rival NYBG, sponsors its own garden ornament show in April.) Garden Design and BBG are co-sponsoring a series of garden seminars, at 12pm and 2pm each day.
Gramercy Garden Antiques Show March 3-4 11am-7pm, March 5 11am-5pm 69th Regiment Armory Lexington Ave @ 26th Street New YorkLink: Stella Shows
