The 20th Anniversary Antique Garden Furniture Show Preview Party and Collectors’ Plant Sale

The 20th Anniversary Antique Garden Furniture Show Preview Party and Collectors’ Plant Sale will kick off the spring season at The New York Botanical Garden on April 26, 2012. This exclusive preview event will take place in the Conservatory Tent, adjacent to the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory and is anticipated to attract 1,000 guests from the philanthropic, interior and landscape design, architecture and art worlds. The Preview Party is underwritten in part by Adam R. Rose and Peter R. McQuillan with additional support from Mish New York, and is sponsored by 1stdibs. The event is an opportunity for guests to gain early access to view and purchase the rare and coveted statues, urns, garden benches and more that will be on show by over 30 of the nation’s leading experts in garden antiques and ornament. Preview attendees will also enjoy a silent auction of one-of-a-kind plants, jewelry, garden décor, and other select items. Proceeds from the event directly support the work of the curators and gardeners who are responsible for making The New York Botanical Garden one of the most important horticultural showplaces in the world. This event is the opening celebration to a weekend of wonderful Garden activities.
