More about NYBG /Lynden Miller Design
Some of you asked what else I enjoyed at NYBG during my visit and I have to say one of my favorite areas is the Ladies Border. Both the Perennial Garden and the Ladies Border have been designed and overseen by the talented garden designer Lynden Miller since 1987. It seems anything Lynden touches I adore including the Conservatory Garden in Central Park and Bryant Park. A particularly striking combination in the Ladies Border was between golden Mexican-orange blossom (Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’) and David viburnum (Viburnum davidii). (photo) Important to note is that the Ladies Border is south facing and protected, and features half-hardy plants not normally grown outdoors in New York. The garden is hardiness zone 6a and 6b. The Choisya is zones 8-10 and the Viburnum is zones 7b to 9. It appears zone-denial is working in this case.
