If you know where to look, remarkable gardens welcome visitors in almost every nook and cranny in New York City. They're perched on rooftops, concealed behind sleek mid-town facades, tucked inside venerable museums, and waiting behind gates you may have passed by a hundred times. Some are even hidden in plain sight - such as the romantic Shakespeare garden, the windy bluffs of the heather garden, or the bold, contemporary Gantry Plaza State Park. This lively guide to one hundred gardens in all five Boroughs offers scores of unexpected discoveries, and is more than just a guide to flora. "Garden Guide: New York City" describes the intriguing stories and colourful personalities behind these green spaces.
