CasaCara: Hanging Gardens of Brooklyn

Today on CasaCARA: Pictures and text about a healing garden in a Brooklyn Heights backyard that was once a dog run, with a broken stone patio and a canopy of ailanthus trees.

Now, with the help of garden designer Nigel Rollings, who teaches the popular Urban Garden Design course at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, it’s a verdant oasis on several levels, with one bold, theatrical stroke: a circular wall fountain.

And look out for Brookyn Voyeur every Thursday, a joint project of OTBKB and CasaCARA.
