Garden paradise in the City
What a marvelous transformation thanks to Bette Midler turning some trashy slums in New York City into lovely gardens and green space! I am wondering if anyone has seen this or might do so. And does anyone know of other such urban projects? If we had more such initiatives it would greatly transform our human-caused wastelands into spaces of beauty. It wouldn't need to be urban either as I think of many trashy rural or small town areas...around roads and empty stores and abandoned barns and weed lots. I wonder if anyone has thanked Bette. Or how you could?

The link doesn't work.
NYC has a host of parks - starting with massive central park and moving down to sizable local parks in all of the boroughs, green belts along the Hudson and a bunch of pocket parks and community gardens in residential ares throughout the city - yes, including quite a few in Manhattan. Granted there are still some areas that need redevelopment - but overall the city has very vital, blooming neighborhoods - much more so than I have seen in quite a few small towns with boarded up downtowns.
