Garden of the Day: Praiseworthy in Park Slope
[nggallery id=”21362″ template=galleryview] Today’s submission comes from Park Slope. The garden has been a work-in-progress since 2001.

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.

2:24 guest, since you clearly get it, why don’t you sign in and make a point…I just know you have it in you and can do it!
Or not…
Im being serious when I say this…
Dave and Biff are ruining this website for me.
It’s taken a major downturn since they started with the disrespect for the fact that this is supposed to be a real estate blog and not a gab session at Excelsior.
I find their posting of 200 plus comments a day each to be ridiculous and sad.
Thanks Brooklynnative. We had a pretty good idea of the layout and worked with a guy named Andrew Leslie Phillips of Stone and Garden on Vanderbilt. However, I think he entered the film business and has since left town.
2:20, if you’re going to quote, do it in context. That was a direct response by Dave to the following guest comment, “Daveinbedstuy :you mentioned stroller moms in a post, you’re so clever. You are our winner you useless tool.”
It may not be convenient to your argument, but next time give the whole story. Truth is, as opposed to guests, those of us who sign in rarely attach without first being attacked.
Yeah, I have to boost 1:49 and whomever they quoted especially after biff just wrote that crap again about how others are negative and should stay on topic. Biff thinks he’s funny when his highly offensive and completely off topic ‘jokes’ with the others names clog up the threads. He obviously just doesn’t get it.
Hey Brooklynnative, nice garden, did you design it yourself or did someone help you?

Hey Biff…here’s a comment from your friend Dave from the street cleaning thread…

“Thank you 10:42…what have you actually added to the thread, you useless tool??
Don’t start calling names, I know more words than you do!!!”
Yeah, he stays on topic perfectly is is TOTALLY respectful.
To all the faded typers so full of negativity: until now I had exactly one post in this thread and it was complimentary to the garden. Ironically, almost every guest comment from 11:30 or so on has had nothing to do with the garden. It’s really easy to hide behind a “guest” label, criticize others and not allow others to track your opinion and hold you accountable to it today and months from now, isn’t it? Kudos to guest at 1:29 for astutely pointing out that not only do dave and brooklynnative add a lot to this blog, but the negative guest comments are actually much more hate-filled than those of us who sign-in. Go look at any other thread here today and you’ll see.
I just thought I would pop by and comment since my name’s been mentioned here. But at the end of the day, I really don’t care what anyone thinks other than those who have signed in and whom I respect. I’m not going anywhere, sorry.
