Wynton Marsalis Concert at the NYBG 125th Anniversary Celebration on June 9, 2016. It was an incredible evening watching one of the worlds greatest trumpet players perform with his incredible orchestra. Working for the New York Botanical Gardens is always such an honor, and being there for the 125th Anniversary celebration was a highlight. If I could live another life I think I'd come back as a professional tap dancer and hope to be half as good as Jared Grimes.
