Idyllic urban oases offer inspiration to anyone yearning to add
nature and serenity to an outdoor living space. Rooftop Gardens
showcases some of the most unique and extraordinary outdoor spaces
in New York City that urban dwellers have created as retreats from
the daily chaos of life. A sumptuous array of gardens ranging in
style from working to exotic fills the pages, a diverse selection
befitting different scales and changing seasons. From the lush
produce garden of Eli's Vinegar Factory to a glass-enclosed
conservatory perched atop Park Avenue in which amaryllis,
paperwhite narcissus, and cyclamen grow during the winter months,
this stunning portfolio illustrates innovative and original ways to
design one's own outdoor sanctuary--be it sky-high or ground
level--and is a must-have for homeowners, decorators, and landscape
architects alike.
