Very precious and expansive. I am so lucky to have watched the profusion of gardens centered on grasses and pollinators. Even in Manhattan, in front plots and backyard spaces. Particularly in these times, we have had one of the most glorious green springs. Treetops so wide they join together the skies above pavements. We had a elder visitor from Greece who marveled at what she felt was the greenest urban habitat she had ever experienced. And she was a world traveler. Not an advertisement. We are simply blessed to have such a dedicated team of city planners with a branch guiding the parks and waterways, sidewalks, and all the different boroughs and neighborhoods. And grasses springing up everywhere, even in the flowerbeds based along sidestreets and the big glorious avenues. Everyone pitches in. Your examples mean so much to us. What it is all about quite honestly. The pollinators. Thank you, Fran.
Thank you for such generous thoughts. I have some NYC connections. My husband grew up in Brooklyn in the 1940s, and my daughter recently was a visiting professor at NYU law.
We've lived beside and now insdie the campus since 1977. My husband Nicholas taught there in the Creative Writing Department. He's now at Columbia for a long long time. NYU law is distinctive and a distinguished place to teach. You must be proud of her and you must sometimes visit her, too...? When you're in town, perhaps a visit a few blocks from the school...?

Grass forms the basis for suburbanites relationship with Nature.

A sweet & evocative dissertation on grass & life itself!
PS. I love you give us the nomenclatures. The writing too. C.
