Beautiful! Why did she do it?
That photo makes two acres look a lot bigger than two acres really is…
Edit: Spoiler, two acres is 300ft by 300ft
I thought Will Smith did this
What is built there now? Javitz Center?
Splendour in the grass.
I can’t imagine how many rats are in there
And hardly any of it smelled like pee.
I wonder if Manhatten traffic is bad enough that getting stuck behind a tractor or a combine wouldn’t really change much…
That’s like 4$ of wheat!
There should be more interim use on unused real estate. So many cities have spaces that are not used at all, while it could grow food, be a garden, a place to meet people, a party location or other things.
Outstanding in her field.
It’s a Massengill Commercial
20 million dollars in property for 2 thousand dollars in wheat.
mono-culture is a bad idea from an ecological pov and anyways, who would eat wheat grown in such a polluted place i mean that would be probably a cancer baguette.
virtue signaling.
Before you come here posting your dumb political opinion maybe look up who Agnes Denes is first
I didn’t realize Amy Poehler’s mom was into agriculture long before her daughter got into Parks and Recs
She didn’t really “do” the growing part
If done today
New Yorkers: nooooo reeeee my community charm. DOB condemn her!
Kind of annoying
Is that field still there or was something built on top of it?
Amazing!
