Support the Gardeners' Party as a Garden Champion.
The Gardeners' Party raises vital funds to care for Wave Hill's world-class garden and train the next generation of horticulturists through the John Nally Internship. Your early support as a Garden Champion helps sustain this important work while providing exclusive 5PM early access to the Party. General tickets become available in early August.

The John Nally Internship is a hands-on, paid apprenticeship that trains the next generation of gardeners. Working alongside the Director and Assistant Director of Horticulture and the Wave Hill Gardeners, interns become skilled in sustainable approaches used to manage a public garden. Their rigorous duties are diverse: mulching the garden beds; digging and planting of shrubs, trees, annuals and perennials; and weeding beds and watering containers in the nursery and public display areas. The intern's curiosity and energy have become indispensable to Wave Hill's pursuit of garden excellence.
Your support allows this very important program to thrive.
