tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-68493003863288328512012-02-23T15:02:05.808-08:00I have been gardening in our city since 1997 - rooftops, backyards, terraces and courtyards - I have always been fascinated how New Yorkers make the most of their space. I have taken on tasks from the immense to the modest, the rugged to the finessed. I have designed and tailored many areas to my clients' request but most of all I consider myself a gardener. I very much enjoy experiencing the changing of seasons and the challenges involved keeping an urban garden in top form.kevin brink nielsenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01343687842748311638noreply@blogger.comBlogger141100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849300386328832851.post-27552483352594265942012-02-23T14:32:00.004-08:002012-02-23T15:02:05.821-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2j8PGudYS9Y/T0bD9xId1jI/AAAAAAAAASQ/oWjEtnDBdNg/s1600/Terrace2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">140 Charles Street</span></span></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">A terrace that started out as 'catch-as-catch-can' with planters and shrubs from a previous owner.
