What are you thankful for? 🌳
At Old Westbury Gardens, we’re thankful for many things, and our trees are high on that list. We love our trees! They give us so much, and on November 21, we’re taking a closer look at all the ways they make our world a better place.
Join us for Trees of Thanks, a guided tour and hands-on workshop. Young explorers will discover the many trees growing at Old Westbury Gardens, use a field log to record their discoveries, and learn why we have so much to be thankful for. Then, they’ll reflect on what they’re grateful for and create a one-of-a-kind Tree of Thanks to take home!
A pretty great way to spend a Saturday in fall.

🎄Some things just feel like Christmas. A beautifully decorated house, the scent of evergreen and cider, a festive tray of holiday cookies, and the familiar sounds of Christmas music. ❤️
This December, make room for a little old-world charm at Christmas at Westbury House.
Wander through Westbury House, dressed for the holidays, enjoy a leisurely walk around the grounds, take in holiday concerts, indulge in complimentary cookies and cider, and make time for a special visit with Santa.
It`s the kind of Christmas outing that feels as though it belongs in another time. And one we think deserves a place on your holiday calendar.
Three weekends only:
December 5–6 | 12–13 | 19–20
10am to 5pm (unless otherwise noted)
Included with General Admission.

📖🍂 The story doesn`t have to end when storytime does!
After our Storybook Stroll this Saturday, keep the November morning going with a little creativity!
At our NEW “Find Your Art” Tour & Workshop, children and adults will discover how artists turn natural materials and found objects into extraordinary works of art. Then, take a crisp autumn stroll through the Gardens to gather inspiration and materials from nature before creating an original work of your own!
It`s a wonderful way to turn a morning of stories and seasonal discoveries into an afternoon of artistic exploration.

🍂 A story for a November morning!
What makes November special? The crisp air, the changing leaves, the animals preparing for winter, and all the little things that make this time of year worth noticing.
Join us this Saturday morning for our next Storybook Stroll, featuring "In November" by Cynthia Rylant, beautifully illustrated by Jill Kastner. We`ll enjoy this lovely celebration of the season before heading outdoors to discover a little November magic of our own and create a craft that each child can take home.
Ages 2+

The Walled Garden is still full of color! 🌸
From the deep burgundy dahlias to the brilliant pink blooms and all the garden details in between, there`s still plenty to take in. With a beautiful weekend ahead, it`s a wonderful time to visit, especially since this may be one of the last weekends to see the Walled Garden looking quite like this.
A seasonal reminder: Beginning Sunday, November 1, the Gardens and Westbury House will be open weekends only, 10am–5pm (unless otherwise noted), through December 20.
Make the most of these beautiful autumn days. We hope to see you this weekend!
