POSTCARD FROM THE SLOPE_Jennifer’s Garden

Walking by Jennifer Connelly’s house on Prospect Park West I was pleased to see that she is fixing up the front and side garden of that corner house on Prospect Park West.

A elderly woman from a nearby apartment building was walking her dog. She went up to one of the gardeners and said: “Thank you so much for fixing up this garden.” He looked at her with a WTF kind of expression and continued working.

“Did you see the garden before?” The woman asked. “I saw it a few months ago,” the gardener said. “No, I mean before. Before.” the woman said emphatically. “It used to be a beautiful garden.”

“Well, it’s going to be better than ever now,” he said getting back to uprooting some dirt. The woman asked him for his card. “I don’t have any cards. You’ll have to ask the lady in charge.

The lady in charge is garden designer, Jane Gil, and she was there working alongside the others. She’s probably a big name in Slope garden design but I don’t know much about that sort of thing.

An adorable little boy with a big forehead and dark hair was watching from the front window. I wonder if that was the son of Jennifer and Paul Bettany? Recently I watched “The House of Sand and Fog” and was blown away by Jennifer C’s performance in that. And I don’t think I’ll ever forget Ben Kingsley’s final act in that movie either.

I didn’t wait around to hear the conversation between the dog walker and Ms. Gil. Everyone’s a busy body in this neighborhood but there are limits to how busy a body I want to be.

  1. So far you hae given the location of their home to every crazy on the planet. Why don’t you tell when she goes to the park or when Jenny’s alone with the kids.

  2. I think noname is (a) an idiot, and (b) a coward. If you think this is “stalking”, you have no idea what the word means.

  3. I dunno, I dont think there’s really anthing stalker-esque about this entry. Its pretty common knowledge where they live, and I wouldn’t not be surprised if their contractor advertises himself as such.

  4. I agree with Noname. Apparently, your limits of being a busybody are a little higher than I would consider appropriate. Where do you live? I would love to write a blog entry that describes where you live, what you children look like, the status of your garden, and the names of you contractors.
    I love OTBKB, but give JC and PB a break, ok?

  5. It was hard to miss the enormous gardening project that was occuring at that house on Carroll Street – They were really going to town, digging up the old plants and putting in new ones. I look forward to seeing the finished project tomorrow when I walk by – And to noname, The blogger does not go out of her way to “stalk” celebs – She is just aware of the celebrities that live amidst us.
