Gardening stories: Central Park in New York City
16 July - 8 minsCentral Park was designed to be an integral part of the city. To understand how Central Park came to be, we need to know the history of Manhattan and of New York City. New York, originally settled by the Dutch and called New Amsterdam, was chosen because of its excellent location.
To tell us all about the history of Central Park was award winning garden designer Diarmuid Gavin.
