Maria in Wonderland
Recently, Maria Harris and family took a trip to the New York Botanical Gardens. Suddenly, they were down the Rabbit Hole and Through the Looking Glass in the new exhibit Wonderland: Curious Nature, on view now ‘til October 27.
Inspired by Alice’s cottage-crushing adventure in Wonderland, the bricks of this little house are made — wait for it — from mushrooms!
Maria et al happened upon the Red Queen (and company).
The show explores the life and times of author Lewis Carroll and myriad influences that shaped Alice’s iconic journey and its enduring impact on popular culture. Spanning 250 acres of gardens and exhibits, it also highlights the bizarre worlds of real-life plants and fungi that make up the eccentric ecosystems that produced them.
Think you’ll want a nosh while there? Wonderland: Curious Nature offers a range of dining possibilities, from tea-time treats to hearty meals at the Looking Glass Cafe and The Rose Court.
