Best in New York 2006

Check out this very cool write-up in Shecky's, a travel guide to NYC that you can buy at Barnes & Noble locally:

BEST LEGAL USE OF GRASS
Star Gardens

You plantin’ for me? Chances are, your version of an “urban garden” consists of a half-dead ficus tree and an unidentifiable housewarming plant. Amber Freda, owner of Star Gardens – a landscape design and installation company – (and Robert De Niro’s personal gardener!), knows a thing or two about plants and pledges to “transform the concrete jungle into an urban paradise!” She offers private consultations to determine your particular needs (a two-foot slab of concrete that gets no light? Bring it on!), then installs, prunes, and presents it while you watch from the comfort of your sofa. Amber will return to your garden four times a year for seasonal maintenance so all you have to do is enjoy. (Although it’ll help if you water it.)
