New York Botanical Garden

The New York Botanical Garden will use its funding to develop and implement a 2012 exhibition, “Monet’s Garden: Impressions of Giverny.” The exhibition, scheduled to run between May 19 and October 21, 2012, will explore the importance of plants and gardens as a source of inspiration for artists in general and for Claude Monet in particular. Visitors will learn that Monet’s art was inspired by nature and that his garden was shaped by his art. Located in venues throughout the Garden’s National Historic Landmark grounds, including the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory and the LuEsther T. Mertz Library, “Monet’s Garden” will provide insight into Giverny’s creation, design, and impact on art and gardening.
