Garden of the Day: Rocking in Rockaway
Today we veer a little outside our normal geographic bailiwick to check out a garden near the ocean…My wife and I moved to Rockaway from Brooklyn where we could afford a home. We got super lucky and found a place with a big (22×30) yard with full southern exposure; a block from the beach. Some of our surfer friends had recently started a landscaping design company called Local Office so we asked them for help. I did most of the labor, but I used countless six packs of beer to get my friends to help with some of the bigger, heavier shrubs. Two years into it, I realize I spend much more time in my garden then at the beach, unless the waves are working.
