COMMUNITY GARDENS in Manhattan

This gallery contains 8 photos.

WEST SIDE COMMUNITY GARDEN

This delightful community garden is on the UPPER WEST SIDE of Manhttan.  Established by volunteers……….and maintained daily by volunteers.  I have donated 200 tulips and I love the Spring time when they bloom.

You can sit…..rest……read……bring the kids…….and have a picnic……..or just SMELL THE ROSES.

Movies in the evening and free concerts on the week-ends.

Speaking of Queen Elizabeth ll……….

Here she is greeting Marilyn Monroe in 1956.

Here she is again doing during her service in World War 2………rising to the rank of Junior Commander.

But…….she did not sleep in the barracks……..she was required to return to the palace every night.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

SCAFFOLDS on my Terrace Garden……….

My flowers and trees are trying to survive.

TWO PEOPLE GOT MARRIED………..

HARRY and MEGAN……got hitched…..and millions of us watched.  With a bagel and a schmear and a cup of Joe…………I was up at 5 a.m. not wanting to miss a moment of the event.

Through the years…….

wedding dress fashion has gone through many changes.

QUEEN VICTORIA

QUEEN ELIZABETH l..…………the virgin queen………but a lovely dress nontheless.

The night before their nuptials……in keeping with tradition…..the Royal couple will NOT be sleeping together.

Harry will sleep here at Coworth Park Hotel and enjoy 5 star bliss.

He will have his morning “cup o tea” is this very quiet setting…… {with 20 security personnel at the other tables}.

HARRY will have a tranquil nights sleep in this beautiful suite for $1,100.

MEGAN will settle in for the night at Clivenden House.

A suite for the future Duchess…………but is blue her color??

She can cozy up to the fireplace………….with her bodyguards…….who will be with her for the rest of her life.
