Other vest pocket gardens in the neighborhood

Now that we’ve had a chance to catch our breaths after the big VPG event a couple of weeks ago, I thought it might be fun to post pictures of some of the other – and smaller—vest pocket gardens around the neighborhood.  The big event focused entirely on Ashley Street between Huntington and Garden Streets, and it truly became a big event, morphing into a competition among the landscape architects who participated.  It transformed the block beautifully!  But from the beginning, the vest pocket gardens were meant to be small and, above all, manageable for the gardeners.  The gardens pictured here are more in line with the original intent of the program.

These examples are from 33 Sargeant, 49 Sargeant, 140 Sargeant, 92 Atwood (235 Sargeant), and 89 Atwood.
