If you know where to look, remarkable gardens welcome visitors in almost every nook and cranny of New York City. They’re perched on rooftops, concealed behind sleek Midtown facades, tucked inside venerable museums, and waiting behind gates you may have passed by a hundred times. Some are even hidden in plain sight—such as the romantic Shakespeare Garden, the windy bluffs of the Heather Garden, or the bold, contemporary Gantry Plaza State Park. This lively guide to 100 gardens in all five boroughs offers scores of unexpected discoveries, from not one, but two authentic Chinese scholar’s gardens to a beguiling children’s maze, a huge airplane topiary, and the largest community garden in America.

Practical information includes maps, directions, hours, public transportation, and amenities. The guide also includes extensive listings by category (birding gardens, child-friendly gardens, gardens with restaurants, wedding gardens, etc.) and an index of local greening organizations.
