The High Line in NYC Takes Root!
On an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets of Manhattan's West Side is the High Line - a lush urban garden, filled with trees, flowering shrubs, native plants and grasses. A natural oasis in a cement jungle, the High Line extends nearly 1 1/2 miles over the crowded city streets.
This groundbreaking urban garden proves nature can flourish anywhere if given a chance. Seasonal Wisdom had the chance to walk the High Line and see the garden in its autumnal glory in October, 2012. Come see for yourself how this man-made environment is taking root in New York City.
Do you consider urban gardens important? What's your favorite garden in a major metropolitan area?

I love all the artwork along the high line. NYC is full of parks and gardens. It's ranked 2nd in the country for parks, but this one was particularly important in transforming a derelict railroad into a beautiful spot in Chelsea.

So true @HomeSpot HQ. Great example of an urban garden transforming the neighborhood.
