PHS has planned some incredible trips to New York in October, and there are a few spots left for the trip to public spaces that have transformed neighborhoods in northern Manhattan on Monday, October 22, from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.
This coach trip will be led by celebrated public garden designer Lynden Miller and PHS President Drew Becher. The day will include tours of a park and community gardens developed by the New York Restoration Project (NYRP), as well as two public spaces designed by Lynden Miller.
Featured sites include: Swindler Cove Park, encompassing five beautifully reclaimed acres along the Harlem River and featuring one of the only saltwater marshes on Manhattan’s shoreline; the Family Garden, sponsored by Tiffany & Co. and designed by John Loring and Rodale Pleasant Park community gardens in East Harlem, designed by Billie Cohen; Columbia University, where Lynden Miller created elegant and colorful plantings; and the Heather Garden in Fort Tryon Park, one of the largest heath and heather gardens on the East Coast, offering stunning vistas of the New Jersey Palisades.
