.Well.. here in NYC we've been without too much gardening..aside from the farmers market in Union Square...
well Chelsea gardens is movinging to Brooklyn opening in Red Hook.. near Fairway..the end of April.. if this will happen...after seeing them into and out of and returning to...not to open after all..on Hudson Street..who knows
Another nursery will be surely opening there in Red Hook also... only a block or so away.. Liberty Sunset Nursery.. I believe.. and it will have a gigantic stock of plants.. and huge selection of native pottery from Columbia..
apart of an expanded waterfront nursery development.. across from the water Taxi... so come on the boat [ or overland ]and buy the container garden.. eat on the pier... enjoy the sunset views.. of the harbor and it's activity..backdrop... the Statue of Liberity ..and have plants galore..to buy...and piles of [ BIG ] blooming containers landscaped throughout the area.. for viewing...a new park with a tropical theme... unheard of here to fore... have Steves Key Lime Pie..at tables.. activities on the barge..the hydroponics center.. instructional activities.. a real garden focused corner of Brooklyn opening...the middle of April..
Remember you heard it here first...

well here is the link to Liberty Sunset Greenhouses..and their site which is just getting in gear before their grand opening.. They say they are to be the full featured garden center in NYC...don't guess it will be too difficult.. as many features are lacking in the ones we do have...
hope to see you there... Gordon

Well..my favorite little local nursery was the Gowanus Nursery..it used to be on Third St here in Brooklyn.. but I'd noticed it had closed..but it moved to Red Hook also..not asbunched as the other two.. t sits on the way in to the others.....enclosed is the link with a map to their new place... I was by and got an early tour . they've a much bigger space... more pots... stone planters.. and lots more plants... they are a must see stop on the way into the Red Hook Garden Meca...come early..stay late.. but don't miss this one... the best..

Dimitr's in Harlem moved to the Bronx. Not hard to get to from the 3 train. Driving isn't bad either, take the Madison Ave bridge, go strait 3 or 4 blocks, turn right onto 3rd Ave, keep to the right to avoid the 3rd Ave bridge approach and go strait onto the road running alongside the bridge.
