Urban gardening comes with its inevitable tribulations. Typically, it involves working in a small space and with poor-quality soil, all in a loud environment that's far from therapeutic. This was my assumption, at least, until I saw Cynthia Nixon's New York yard, which changed everything I thought I knew about city gardens.
Living in a city myself, I always found it hard to imagine a space that feels peaceful without losing the sense of its zip code. Cities are exciting places, so it's a shame to hide away from the fact that you're there, but at the same time, you want to create a space that feels far away from the hustle. Cynthia's space strikes the perfect balance.
