Join Richard Hayden\, Senior Director of Horticulture\, for a tour and deep dive into the stewardship techniques employed\, the iconic plants and the ecological function of this reclaimed railway garden. We’ll also tour two new garden sections designed by Piet Oudolf\, whose original design and long term collaboration with the High Line has helped to keep the garden at the forefront of public gardens\, prompting the New York Times to label it ‘One of the 25 Must See Gardens of the World.’ \nRichard Hayden is a passionate horticulturist dedicated to an ecological and naturalistic approach to garden care and design. Since 2022 he has served as the Senior Director of Horticulture at the High Line where he leads a team of horticulturists in the stewardship and public programming of an historic\, elevated rail line on the west side of Manhattan that was reclaimed to become a biodiverse public garden with naturalistic plantings designed by Piet Oudolf. \nHayden previously served as Assistant Deputy Director at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHMLA)\, where he was the primary project manager for the reimagining of the La Brea Tar Pits Museum and eleven acre park site. He also oversaw the Nature Gardens at NHMLA\, a wildlife habitat garden\, where he collaborated with scientists\, educators and interpreters to promote the garden as a leading site for the study of urban nature. \n$40 AHS members/$50 non-members\nAll tours are listed in location’s timezone\nRegister Here URL:https://ahsgardening.org/event/ahs-live-behind-the-scenes-tour-high-line/ LOCATION:American Horticultural Society – AHS Live CATEGORIES:Tour ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ahsgardening.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/0011_FHL_Portraits-scaled-e1773863839185.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
