This Brooklyn Heights backyard features a bluestone patio and custom-built ipe planters. The quiet, Zen-like setting is shaded by nearby buildings, so we picked a shade-tolerant mix of plants that will thrive here. The plants include dogwoods, rose-of-sharons, rhododendrons, and andromedas. When choosing plants that do well in shade, I find it's generally helpful to think about the types of plants that grow in a woodland environment. http://ow.ly/sCpH30nW1lv

Imagine hanging out in this roof garden in the middle of Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood at night with a group of friends. Illuminated both by the lights of nearby skyscrapers and up-lighting in the planters, this roof garden is quite the urban oasis. It features lightweight aluminum decking, ipe planters, an ipe and metal pergola, and ipe benches with built-in storage under the seats. Click to learn more: http://ow.ly/3bRj50lKXHg
