Flower Power at the New York Botanical Garden, Through October 18

The New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx is wrapping up Flower Power, a show built around the 1960s and the idea of flowers as emblems of peace and love. It runs from May 23 through October 18, 2026, so this weekend is the last chance to see it.

The core of the show sits in and around the Haupt Conservatory, where psychedelic flower displays and art installations fill the space. Inside the conservatory, a rainbow-hued flower sculpture stands among the plants. Elsewhere on the grounds, you'll find classic VW buses painted in bright colors, which make for an easy photo stop.

The Museum Building gallery brings together paintings, photographs, screenprints and collages from the 1960s and '70s that treat flowers as symbols of peace. The headline piece is Andy Warhol's Flowers (1964), shown next to the photograph it was based on, taken by nature photographer and environmental activist Patricia Caulfield. Works by Joe Brainard, Milton Glaser, Carlos Irizarry and Corita Kent are also on view.

Programming runs mostly on weekends. Be-In the Music features rotating New York folk musicians inspired by the Greenwich Village scene of the era, and the Counterculture Circle Series offers drum circles, craft workshops and meditative activities. Classes on flower structure, botanical illustration and painting are also offered. NYBG Shop sells themed apparel, gifts and decor, including tie-dye items.

The Garden is at 2900 Southern Blvd, Bronx, NY 10458. Tickets are sold through the NYBG website, and members get free daytime admission to the show.
