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.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY • 2018

These women are a selection of paintings from my art collection.

 

 

 

 

TOM’S Terrace Garden

The scaffolds are still on my terrace and all my pots have been shoved to the other side……..where I am planting like mad…..trying to get a semblance of a garden going.

And my LILACS are in bloom………right on schedule.

My friend Maddie is developing a GREEN THUMB……….I couldn’t get the garden going without her help.

 

Ladies Hat Luncheon in Central Park

The Central Park Conservancy hosts the annual HAT PARTY  which raised $4 million this year.

My friend Molly.……in the white dress and the stunning white hat…….met her friends in the garden for a fun luncheon.

The tables cost $100,000  and the 1200 guests show off their most fabulous hats.

Stephanie March wore a hat designed by Lock & Co Hatters.…..a favorite of Kate Middleton the Duchess of Cambridge.

MacKenzie Child……..Piles of Pillows

Their emporium on West 57th street is a visual delight for me.  I can’t go there without buying  SOMETHING……..a cushion.  JUST ONE!

This is the one I took home with me today.  I LOVE IT.

ARMAGEDDON on my Terrace today

I spent last week-end planting like mad……..all new flowers and plants and some new planters…..it was starting to look beautiful.

Today a scaffold crew arrived at 8am and announced they were going to erect 4 scaffolds to “point” the bricks  around the terrace and would be here for 8 months.  There goes the summer.

ARMAGEDDON!!!    Click on a scaffold to see the disaster.
