Who knew this was in back? New York is full of these, but we only get to see them when we're invited in. (Thanks, Laura!)
"Yes, it's 14th Street.
Somehow I lucked into this East Village apartment with a garden 8 years ago and it's been a joy and a challenge ever since. In addition to completely changing my experience living in NYC (I rake in the fall), it also has provided some unique challenges. Because of the buildings around and behind me, I get light that is neither full sun, part shade or shade, but instead a sporadic of all of these..."
Wow, this is lovely! This is what I yearn for - small manageable outdoor space with close to the city convenience.

Just the right size and beautiful! I love it is not overly landscaped, the natural meadow ambiance is so inviting.

This is absolutely PERFECT! I am longing for my own little garden just looking at the pictures.
I'll bet lily of the valley would do really well in the spring btw
