Idyllic urban oases offer inspiration to anyone yearning to add nature and serenity to an outdoor living space. Rooftop Gardens showcases some of the most unique and extraordinary outdoor spaces in New York City that urban dwellers have created as retreats from the daily chaos of life. A sumptuous array of gardens ranging in style from working to exotic fills the pages, a diverse selection befitting different scales and changing seasons. From the lush produce garden of Eli's Vinegar Factory to a glass enclosed conservatory perched atop Park Avenue in which amaryllis, paperwhite narcissus, and cyclamen grow during the winter months, this stunning portfolio illustrates innovative and original ways to design one's own outdoor sanctuary be it sky high or ground level and is a must have for homeowners, decorators, and landscape architects alike.

Product Information

"Just in time for spring comes "Rooftop Gardens: The Terraces, Conservatories, and Balconies of New York "by Denise LeFrak Calicchio and Roberta Amon, with photos by Norman McGrath that are so lifelike they could incite your sinuses if not your envy. These sanctuaries are, after all, intensely private, and ordinarily protected even from the view of ordinary mortals." "New York Times" "The book, published by Rizzoli, promises to showcase some of the city's most fabulous outdoor spaces." "New York Post" "[Rooftop Gardens] is catnip for people who love plants, trees and flowers set against skyline views." "Crain's New York Business" "If it weren't for "Rooftop Gardens: The Terraces, Conservatories and Balconies of New York," a new book from Rizzoli by Denise LeFrak Calicchio and Roberta Model Amon, the only way to see most of these spaces would be by helicopter, telescope or a ride on the back of a superhero." "New York Daily News "
