![]() I even surprised Jeff by saying I (might) want to go to NY--the Bronx...then explained why. He knows I'm not a city person. Quote:
I am definitely not a city boy! Quote:
Yes, I noticed that the focus was much broader than what I'm planning on doing. I guess I have to realize it is a garden...and it will be visited by people from all over...so, those from the wide expanse we call the Northeast will likely see something that they recognize from home. Quote:
I see your point about the contrast...but I was hoping for at least some water's edge that was natural and more accessible to wildlife--perhaps it is there, just not featured in the pictures or video. Quote:
I can't fathom living there...but, even for this (new) country boy, I can almost imagine visiting there.

My husband Peter loves New York. I have visited many times. I always wind up in its gardens. Though born and raised in the city of Chicago I am very comfortable in the wilds. It is the in between burbs that drive me to distraction with their uniformity.

![]() Just imagine if suburbs could become uniform native habitats based on what would naturally grow there.

An hour and 22 minutes of video but well worth watching. Doug Tallamy and Rick Dark as well as the gardens designer speak of the how and why of this native plant garden.
