The gardens have endured 9/11, Hurricane Sandy, COVID-19, multiple relocations, and the continuous development and reconstruction of the neighborhood. Yet through it all, the gardens have always bloomed reliably and abundantly each Spring, expressing life, beauty, and tranquility in an unlikely spot – next to the West Side Highway and in the shadow of the World Trade Center.
