About the Book

Gardens are an integral part of any cityscape, and New York City boasts a wealth of outdoor spaces that enhance the urban environment and provide visual pleasure to residents and visitors. City Green celebrates the richness and diversity of New York's public gardens.

While the New York Botanical Garden, the High Line, and Central Park are familiar names and places, other venues, such as Roosevelt Park, the Inwood Heather Garden, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the Chinese Scholar's Garden, remain relatively under-visited and under-appreciated. In addition to parks and three botanical gardens, public horticulture in New York encompasses community- and conservancy-sponsored gardens, vest pocket parks, museum gardens, and even indoor atria. City Green: Public Gardens of New York focuses on the vitality, variety, and beauty of the city's garden landscapes in a time when the appreciation for how gardens enhance the quality of urban life is on the rise.

With text by noted garden writer Jane Garmey and photography by distinguished landscape and design photographer Mick Hales, this book takes readers inside many of New York's gardens, including the Cloisters, Green-Wood Cemetery, Carl Schurz Park, Wave Hill, the 9/11 Memorial Garden, the Noguchi Museum, and the Willis Ave. Community Garden. City Green is an essential companion for New Yorkers and the ideal gift for garden-lovers, tourists, and former New York residents nostalgic for the city's parks and gardens.
About the Author: Jane Garmey is the author of Private Gardens of the Hudson Valley, Private Gardens of Connecticut (both published by The Monacelli Press), Great British Cooking: A Well-Kept Secret, and Great New British Cooking, and editor of The Writer in the Garden. She has written numerous articles on gardens and interior design for newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Elle Décor, and 1stDibs, and for many years she was the garden correspondent for Town & Country.

Mick Hales is a well-known photographer of gardens and landscapes and interior design.
