A successful real estate and business development professional, Eric Blair-Joannou is an active philanthropist who regularly engages with organizations including the New York Botanical Garden, of which he is a part of the Young Garden Circle.

The New York Botanical Garden hosts several special and annual events, including its yearly Holiday Train Show. Every year, a number of meticulously crafted, G-scale model trains on a half-mile of track pass through an elaborate display consisting of nearly 200 distinct New York landmarks. Maintaining the natural beauty and feel of the garden, every landmark, including the Brooklyn Bridge and Rockefeller Center, has been made from bark, leaves, and other natural materials. The show, located in in the festive Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, is one of the New York Botanical Garden’s most popular and well-attended events.

The 2018 Holiday Train Show, the garden’s 27th edition of the exhibit, will conclude Jan. 21, 2019. Interested parties are advised to schedule plans ahead of time, as tickets generally sell out.
