Home to the Berlin Airlift, Tempelhof airport was closed in 2008 to make way for a larger, newer airport on the outskirts of Berlin. The huge space has become a sort of playground for the surrounding neighborhoods, and include a 54,000-square foot community garden. It reminds us of New York City’s horticultural gem, the Floyd Bennett Field Community Garden.
The New York Botanical Garden is a museum of plants, an educational institution, and a scientific research organization. Founded in 1891 & now a National Historic Landmark, it is one of the greatest botanical gardens in the world. http://www.nybg.org/
