WSCG in the NY Times
The West Side Community Garden received a very nice mention in the Travel section of this past Sunday’s New York Times, listing us as among the best of the city’s hidden refuges:
The city’s community gardens are everywhere, and Weekend in New York has mentioned a few in past columns. All have their charms, but many of those charms are more rustic than manicured. But leave it to the Upper West Side to create an onslaught of flowers in an elegant setting and hide it on a side street where you’d never find it if you didn’t know it was there.
Tulip season is the true mind-blowing time of year, and you just missed it. (Note in BlackBerry: Sunday, April 19, 2009: “Lazy afternoon, West Side Community Garden.) But there will be a lot more blooming into the summer: lilies, impatiens, zinnias, black-eyed Susans, sweet Williams, and so forth. And in a slight advantage over the other gardens, traffic noise is largely replaced with the happy screams of kids in two neighboring playgrounds.
