Four years ago, interior designer Laurie Blumenfeld left behind her beloved Brooklyn Heights roof garden for a new Red Hook loft, where the only outdoor space was an overgrown parking lot. But where others saw an eyesore, Laurie saw gold – the perfect plot for a naturalistic meadow set against the city skyline

Today, wildflowers, native perennials, and pollinator-friendly plants fill sweeping borders, softening hard edges and inviting passers-by to pause in the busy pace of city life.
