When it is as hot outside as it is today, dealing with bees flying around is an unpleasant experience. That being said, the insects—alongside flies, beetles, wasps, butterflies and more—are important parts of the local ecosystem.
A new program series at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden seeks to shed light on the connections between plants and pollinators, underlying the latter’s essentiality and calling on New Yorkers to protect them.
“Natural Attractions: a Plant-Pollinator Love Story” features a series of programs and exhibit, most on view now through October 20, that are free with general admission. Among the activations is a new pollinator lounge that was built specifically for the insects: 42 wood-carved “hotels” catering to native pollinators in New York are accessible by the general public.

An interactive exhibit focusing on the relationship between the insects and the vegetation around them is also part of the program alongside a kid-friendly show featuring a larger-than-life American-painted lady butterfly.
“Pollinators and plants are the ultimate coupling, and our human world—the things we eat, the clothes we wear, and more—thrives on their partnership,” said Adrian Benepe, President and CEO of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in an official statement.
Benepe’s focus, and the botanic garden’s programming, are clearly necessary: according to a 2022 study, up to 38% of the the local native insect pollinator population is at risk of elimination from New York’s ecosystem. Some estimates suggest that percentage could actually be as high as 60%.
Although the subject of the new exhibition is a valiant one, experiencing the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in the summer (and the spring, for that matter) is a very unique undertaking certainly worthy of any best things to do in NYC list. You can find the full list of exhibits and programs as part of the series right here.

Ocean noise, chemical pollution, climate change and sea level rise are words that often appear in the news. But these important concepts can be hard to make sense of—or to understand at all.
That’s where artist Jenny Kendler comes in. Her new exhibit, Other of Pearl, confronts these pressing environmental issues in ways that feel more accessible with stirring whale songs, incredible pearl sculptures, a crystalline whale eye cast with human tears, and more. You can see these powerful works for free on Wednesdays-Sundays from 10am-5pm now through October on Governors Island.
Seven intimate, delicate works are displayed in the cavernous, subterranean magazine of historic Fort Jay, a star-shaped fortification built on Governors Island between 1775 and 1776. In darkened rooms that echo with whale song, you’ll get to see pearl sculptures grown inside oysters, bells rung by fossilized whale ear bones, a crystalline whale eye cast of sea salt and human tears, glass vials filled with oil from long-dead whales, and a human nervous system meticulously strung from thousands of tiny pearls.

In the adjoining galleries, two large handblown glass instruments evoke the organs humpback and sperm whales use to communicate, inviting visitors’ sonic activation. The artist considers the oyster and whale as central players in the ecological and economic entanglement between human and nonhuman beings. David Gruber of Project CETI provided the whale recordings that become part of these sound works.
After the exhibition ends, pearl sculptures from the show will be auctioned to raise funds to help create a new oyster reef alongside project partner Billion Oyster Project, redistributing resources in a gesture of ecological restoration.

The artwork, presented by Governors Island Arts and the Natural Resources Defense Council, tells the story of human relationship with the natural world and explores possibilities for ecological restoration.
“While climate change can be overwhelming, confusing and polarizing—art has a unique ability to reach people and help us process the challenge,” said Kristin Wilson-Palmer, chief communications officer for NRDC. “This beautiful and powerful new exhibit from Jenny Kendler brings people together for reflection and conversation on the most significant environmental challenge of our time—and, hopefully, will inspire them to act.”
Other of Pearl is Kendler’s first solo exhibition in New York City. It’s also the first public art exhibition opening on Governors Island since Governors Island’s new head curator and vice president for arts and culture, Lauren Haynes, began her role in March 2024.

As an interdisciplinary ecological artist, environmental activist, naturalist and wild forager, Kendler focuses on climate change and biodiversity loss as she works to “re-enchant our relationship to the more-than human-world.”
The artwork is supported by the Ford Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, the Charina Endowment Fund, Donald R. Mullen Family Foundation, Stavros Niarchos Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, The Gottesman Fund, Donald A. Pels Charitable Trust, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Additional support for Other of Pearl is provided by the Ripple Foundation as well as Roseate Jewelry.
