Wave Hill

Since its founding as a public garden in 1965, Wave Hill has evolved as a unique urban oasis, world-class garden and vital resource. Its mission is to celebrate the artistry and legacy of its gardens and landscapes, to preserve its magnificent views, and to explore human connections to the natural world through programs in horticulture, education and the arts, such as workshops, walks, talks, exhibitions, and live performances. Situated on a high ridge above the Hudson River estuary, Wave Hill’s 28 acres of gardens, grounds and woodlands offer sweeping panoramas of the majestic Palisades and a stunning setting for connecting to nature.
Wave Hill strives to achieve a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion and access for everyone. We look to the natural world in all its diversity to inform our practices. Biodiversity and ecological connections strengthen natural systems. In the same way, acknowledging and supporting the diverse breadth of human experiences strengthens our community and improves the overall garden experience for everyone.
