FAQs
What services does Christina Brown Gardens offer?
CB Gardens is a full service landscaping company that offers tailored designs, installation and maintenance of gardens in New York City. That includes rear gardens, roof gardens, container and potted gardens, window boxes, stoop plantings, tree beds and spring bulb planting.
Can you plant a garden in a shady space?
Yes. Shade gardens are common in the city, where a building or a large tree usually casts shade on the land, and there are many shade tolerant options. One Cobble Hill apartment building that faces north was made lush with shade tolerant plants including rhododendrons, hydrangeas, ferns, hostas and astilbes.
What if I do not have ground space to plant in?
Containers and large planters come to the rescue when gardening in the ground is not an option. They come in wood, ceramic or fiberglass, hold everything from bulbs to trees, and can be used on a window ledge, a stoop, a deck or a patio. Where space is tight, planters can be raised to create a vertical hanging garden.
Do you install irrigation?
Yes. Irrigation is part of the installation work. On the Cobble Hill apartment building project, organic compost was incorporated into the soil and a drip system was installed throughout the entire space.
Do you work with native plants?
Yes. Habitat restoration and ornamental garden development using native plants are a passion of the business. The Bay Ridge cottage garden was planted with many native plants and now blooms continuously from spring through fall while providing habitat for pollinators and birds.
What areas do you work in?
The business is based in Brooklyn and builds gardens in New York City. Past projects shown include gardens in Cobble Hill and Bay Ridge.
