This lovely garden shaded by mature trees is the former site of asynagogue. In 2004 GrowNYC worked with gardeners to widen and levelpathways to accommodate wheelchairs. The garden got a new tool shed,wood fencing, birdhouse, and flagstone entry. This work was supportedby the Evan Frankel Foundation. The garden also received extensiveplantings donated by Chelsea Garden Center. The results are windingstone-dust paths and numerous seating opportunities. The gardendisplays lace-cap hydrangeas, antique roses, Rose of Sharon, daylilies,etc. Transferred to the Manhattan Land Trust by TPL, which provided thegarden with a permanent water supply.
