The End of Nature by Bill McKibben
Welcome!
Greetings from the gardeners at the Park Slope United Methodist Church in Brooklyn New York. I started this little blog as a way to communicate with each other. We soon learned that this was a great way to share our garden with the wider communty of gardens across the world and to make links with others. Please visit us in this blog or actually come to see us
As if Jan,2021 there have been nearly 16,000 visits to this blog.

Precious Tree
Planted by gadeners in 1986, this beautiful cornus alternifolia (native Pagoda Dogwood) died and had to be removed in 2008. For many years it provided much needed shade.

Susan Bowen designed this bench in honor of Guy and Nancy D'Angelo
Guess this plant from our garden
Clue: It grows from seeds and self sows for the following year in the same area if you let it be. Nancy Young's favorite.
