Family Art Project: Garden Guardians New York Performances

At Wave Hill in the Bronx, **Family Art Project: Garden Guardians** invites children and caregivers into a hands-on exhibition where making art is treated as a way of paying attention to the garden. Participants build their own “guardians,” drawing on plants, weather, and small creatures as source material, then carry the results back into the landscape that inspired them. It sits in a New York tradition of public-garden education that mixes ecology with craft. The quiet critical point is that the project values observation over spectacle, and that choice feels timely.
