Great profile of NYBG instructor Ellen Zachos by friend of the Garden, Marie Viljoen of 66 Square Feet over on ShelterPop. Favorite answer:

What plant has most disappointed you?

I’m disappointed that I can’t grow some of the things I love because of the hordes of voracious deer that graze in my garden. Fortunately I can grow that stuff on NYC rooftops, where I have not yet seen a single deer.
