Garden of the Day: Praiseworthy in Park Slope

Today’s submission comes from Park Slope. The garden has been a work-in-progress since 2001. When the current owners bought the house it had a huge pine tree and some grass in a raised square bed with concrete walkways surrounding the raised bed. “It was all very awkward,” writes the owner. The “before” photo at the end of the slideshow shows the garden after all the concrete had been removed. The beautiful circular table they purchased four years ended up not fitting through the front door so they ended up having to hoist it over the roof! The chairs were picked up at the Park Slope flea market. Other than that, you can tell that they are big clematis fans. Great job.

Dave…you really are a jackass.
Why can’t you calm the f*ck down.
Seriously. You are that annoying person in grade school who raised their hand whenever the teacher spoke.
Grow up, dude.
And get a life while you’re at it.
You post at least 200 times a day. It’s absurd.
Back to the garden,
If by “vines” you mean the second picture with the stairs it is a Clematis (paniculata). Fantastic plant, it flowers in the fall and they last a good long while. It grew that much in about three years and is now climbing the building and going up the cable lines. It looks to be planted in a cooler spot with shade but then the leaves will want sun so putting it next to a fence like we did works well.
I hate this garden’s sense of entitlement. Last week I was walking on Seventh Avenue and this garden rammed a double stroller into my shins, didn’t even apologize
Dave,
You’re not only paranoid, you don’t appear to be a very good reader. Try reading my “shameful for rent posting” again.
Fess up to what? I already acknwledged it’s me. What’s the big deal?
Does this one come with a washer & dryer????
For $4,500 it better!!!!
Yes, 11:15 you are correct..it was Brooklynnative who posted that. If you click on his login id you can see the post!!!
Fess up Brooklynnative……..
Well, that woman is four floors up and she wouldn’t bother you if you’re not the owner.
The overgrown garden pales in comparison to the overgrown ask rent.
$4,500 for a garden apt?!
Good luck with that dude.
$4,500 after-tax supports over a million-dollar mortgage.
