NEW YORK, April 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- From Friday, April 24, through Sunday, April 26, 2015, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, The New York Botanical Garden hosts its 23rd annual garden ornament show, Antique Garden Furniture Fair: Antiques for the Garden and the Garden Room.

The country's original, largest, and most important venue for authentic garden antiques features leading exhibitors offering their finest pieces for sale, displaying centuries of classic design inspiration gathered from across the United States and Europe. Named the "Best in America" by the experts and long held as the most renowned stage for authentic garden antiques and rarities, the annual Fair, which in recent years also featured contemporary offerings, returns to its roots with a central theme of "Antiques for the Garden and the Garden Room," showcasing fascinating antique furnishings and objects, an expansive collection of ornament, decorative art, and timeless furniture for the home and garden.

Admission to the Antique Garden Furniture Fair on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is included with the All-Garden Pass.

Located at the entrance to the Antique Garden Furniture Fair, a Garden Room features a Specialty Plant Sale with an extensive selection of unusual, colorful plants representing some of horticulture's finest growers. A variety of shrubs and trees, including Japanese maples, Itoh peonies and other perennials, as well as annuals and herbs will be available.  

The Fair opens with a Benefit Preview Party and Collectors' Plant Sale on Thursday, April 23, from 6 to 8 p.m. The Preview Party is attended by more than 500 guests from the philanthropic, interior and landscape design, architecture, and art worlds. Preview attendees will enjoy a fabulous Silent Auction and Collector's Plant Sale featuring one-of-a-kind plants. All proceeds 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.

At the Preview Party this year, famed decorator Bunny Williams will be available to sign her new book, On Garden Style. She will also showcase a personally designed garden setting using items from Fair exhibitors to inspire guests to enhance their spaces with antiques.
