  • Central Park Spring Guide
    This is a spring like no other. When the world is in disarray, the natural wonder of a new season unfolding becomes a simple joy and a reminder of nature’s profound power to regenerate and revive. The Central Park Conservancy has been New York’s advocate for Central Park for the last four decades. And now, our staff’s role has become even more important as we work to keep the Park clean, safe, and healthy. A vibrant Central Park cleans the air for New Yorkers, provides a place for mental and physical well-being, and brings us together — even when we are kept apart. This spring, we ask you to join us in celebrating the simple miracles of life: the blooming magnolia, the sweeping vistas from a miniature castle, and the community that is New York. IN THIS GUIDE We look forward to a time when we can be together 2 A Note to Park-Goers in the Park. Until then, we hope our Spring Guide 3 Get to Know Central Park’s Spring Blooms provides you with a taste of the season. 4 Preparing for Spring in Conservatory Garden 5 Central Park Activities 10 Central Park Quiz 11 Central Park Map 2 A NOTE TO PARK-GOERS New York City has seen its share of crises, yet despite all we’ve lived through, New Yorkers remain resilient. In times of turmoil, Central Park has always been here, as a respite, an oasis, or simply a quiet place to escape when we feel overwhelmed. This holds true even as the City navigates the coronavirus outbreak.

  • Eureka Du 1200 State Street, Utica 13502 NY Ydux5
    Name: Eureka Du Address: 1200 State Street, Utica 13502 NY Email: [email protected] Typography and Information Design PrattMWP College of Art and Design Class #1 Professor: Christina Sharp Content 1.creative brief 4.ideation 2.research 5.development 3.inspiration 6.conclusions Creative Brief In this map project we are selecting a New York State Park, and redesign an engaging and exciting map for the park in Adobe Illustrator for potential visitors through compositions, symbols, icon systems, labels, illustrations, and colors. The redesigned map should be practical and able to be used in the real world. My choice on the New York State Park is the Central Park in Manhatten New York. I Chose Central Park because of my own experience. As a first time visitor in New York last year, I visited Central Park with my cousin who has been living in NewYork for seven years. While I was doing my research, I did not find any map for first-time visitors from the central park official website. If I were on my own while I first visited Central Park, I would not be able to know where to begin my visit. I am sure that the other first-time visitors would have the same problem. These are the reasons that my map is designed for first-time visitors who have a limited amount of time. In my map, I featured several top attractions in and around the park. I also included some top-rated restaurants around and inside the park since Knowing where to consume good food is essential during visiting.

  • Hello New York
    Chapter 4 Hello New York First bite of the Apple o bands played as I arrived at The City Gardener, on Third Avenue at 30th Street, in March 1969. Here was a messy-looking store with Nstacked bags of topsoil and racks of plants on the sidewalk. Since my Kiwi friend and sponsor Kerry Fitzgerald was out, I accepted a coffee and chatted to the secretary, who at least expected me. Where, I wondered, would a tweed-suited, proper-English speaking immigrant, just off the plane, fit in? Kerry had three years previously joined an English gentleman gardener and bought The City Gardener, one of the first inner city businesses offering plants, installation services and advice to the increasing number of New Yorkers eager to grow their own tomatoes and climbing roses on their terraces. The timing, as always, was everything. New York City was in the midst of sweeping changes, including the embrace of green spaces, new city parks, roof-top gardens and more streetside trees. With the firm’s business expanding, Kerry was recruiting gardeners with knowledge of hardy New York plants, the local extreme conditions and garden design, plus the ability to sell garden ideas. Did I qualify? Well, of course! I’m a quick learner. But back to the day I arrived. The magic began when I dropped my bags in the guest room of Kerry’s 57th Street penthouse on smart Eastside. “We’re leaving for the country in half an hour, grab warm clothes and walking shoes,” said Kerry. Opposite: Jump for joy, Greenacre Park .

  • Restoration of the Conservatory Garden
    RESTORATION OF THE CONSERVATORY GARDEN Celebrating 35 Years of the Women’s Committee THE CONSERVATORY GARDEN | A Women’s Garden In honor of their 35th Anniversary and in collaboration with Central Park Conservancy’s Campaign, Forever Green: Ensuring the Future of Central Park, the Women’s Committee of Central Park Conservancy has committed to raise at least $5 million towards a transformative $10 million initiative to restore the Conservatory Garden, Central Park’s six-acre masterwork of formal garden design, located off Fifth Avenue from 104th to 106th Streets. History Completed in 1937 under Parks Commissioner Robert Moses’ chief landscape architect Gilmore D. Clarke, the Conservatory Garden became Central Park’s only formal garden. The original plans were designed by aptly-named landscape architect M. Betty Sprout, who later became Clarke’s wife. In the latter part of the 19th century, the area originally hosted a small nursery for growing plants for the Park. The name “Conservatory Garden” was adopted in 1898 when a large conservatory (greenhouse) was constructed on the site, featuring then-exotic tropical plants and ornate flower beds. After falling into disrepair, the greenhouse was demolished in 1934 and the exceptional six-acre formal outdoor garden that we now know was conceived and built. Thanks to its original designers and the Conservancy’s substantial 1983 restoration of the Garden’s horticultural elements, the Garden stands as one of the world’s great masterworks of formal garden design. Since its earliest days, horticultural direction has been in the hands of women, including Lynden Miller, who led the 1983 restoration, and long-time Garden curator Diane Schaub.
