Love how the grasses move on the high line. Really creates magic. Yes, Stephanie! Love the meadow reference. Walking that space feels like taking a deep breath with the bustle of the city all around you. The sense of well being those spaces create in a city like NYC is vital to the people there. I"m sure of it.
Thank you for this tour, especially of the high line. Wow!
Manhattan is our American gem. It's beautiful in its own way, just ask Walt Whitman.
So fun! I was just there last weekend and thought the gardens are beautiful. Amazing pots with beautiful begonias too.
Thank you for taking us to New York !! Great city🌳
I’m so jealous of all the travel and gardening experiences the two of you get. I have saved all of the public places you have toured to add to my retirement bucket list.
I appreciated the editing at the beginning of the video, which used images to tell the story of your travels.
Thank you for highlighting these NYC spaces, which embody Olmsted's belief that in urban settings, pastoral spaces are essential for people's well-being.
I hope someday you do a video about the Atlanta BeltLine Arboretum, which is a much (MUCH) larger project than the Highline.
Hi Jim, I garden in Manhattan (uptown near Columbia University) and have watched your channel for years. Thank you for the beautiful tour of these green spaces in my city! I was so happy to see the this video and hear you talk about what you found. There are a lot of not-so-hidden gems in the UWS if you're ever uptown by the way, like the 90th Street Garden, West Side Community Garden and the Lotus Garden.
… Just ONE note haha – I kept cringing every time you said "Lower Manhattan"! You spent this entire video in Midtown or Chelsea! The only thing you showed that was actually lower (below 14th), was Little Island 😂
One never knows where you’ll find the beautiful plantings! 😂
What a fantastic tour of plantings in NYC! I loved it! Thanks!
Great video, especially since I have never been to New York myself. I live in a more rural town in Illinois, plenty of green all around. Love to see all the parks and plantings in a big city, the High Line is a place I'd love to visit. Chicago is the only big city I visit ever so often. A lot of people talk nonsense, when it comes to big cities, probably because they never even go there. Sure there are all the sky scrapers and the traffic, but also unexpected green spaces.
Hello Jim & Steph. Welcome to New York! I lived here more than half of my life & never got to visit the Hudson yard. 😂 If your downtown hope you get to see Battery Park & Pier 15 South Seaport. They revamped that whole area. Enjoy your visit 😊.
NYC and Long Island both benefit from coastal waters. They fit into 7a/7b.
The High Line (34 street down) is awesome as well.
Too much noise for me, but wow. They've done a great job with those areas. From golden rod, milkweed, and coneflowers to the trees. Whoever is in charge of that is really doing fantastic! I'm truly impressed!
As a native New Yorker now living here in Chapel Hill NC so glad you and Steph have gotten to tour the Hudson yard area one of my favorite places in NYC. I was fortunate enough to see the gardens from the top of the Vessel when first opened years ago. Topographical view of this landscape area in this part of the city was amazing. And the Highline 🤗… I’m always amazed by all the cultivars that is able to grow on was once a train track area. Jim and Steph, you guys are going to love Little Island!
What an interesting tour — thanks!!
Jim, so happy to see you up my way in the north enjoying the beautiful city of New York. Two of my favorites are Bryant Park and the High Line. Much to see in NYC.
Have you guys toured private/public gardens in New Orleans?
Ahh❤ bring me so many memories I love my home town..New York and Connecticut where I spend some time too…Beautiful thanks you so much for sharing
Hello, gardeners and friends 🧡 have fun gardening. 🙏.
Are there any hardy yellow hibiscus for Zone 6 available?
This was really fun. With so much crap going on in the world, it's encouraging to see that we humans are finally putting such a strong emphasis on nature. I'm looking forward to the rest of your tour.
Aw man, I would have loved to bump into you! (BTW, from a 63-year-old native NYer, Bryant Park and Hudson Yards are smack dab Midtown, not lower Manhattan. Lower Manhattan is delineated BELOW 14th Street 😉.)
🙋
😂 Jim standing in Times Square talking about the plants! The High Line is such a wonderful public space. Great tour, thanks you two!
Bryant Park = midtown
