For many stylish New Yorkers, interaction with flowers happens either courtesy of a Miho bouquet or a Balenciaga dress. But this weekend, you can get a little closer to your posies during the first annual NYC Wildflower Week, hosted by the Torrey Botanical Society. The initiative includes lectures, gardening demonstrations, plant walks, and a Native Plant Display Garden in Union Square, which shows off some of the thousands of flora that are indigenous to New York City. The weeklong series aims to raise awareness about the treasure trove of plant life native to the Big Apple, and the importance of preserving it. Find out more about the events and get information about the area's natural greenery at nycwildflowerweek.org, and put the lovely spring weather to good use.
