Greenwich Village
Hudson River Park Trust is the fortunate beneficiary of the New
York Chapter of the Garden Club of America’s generosity
in planning and entirely funding the magnificent Millenium
Garden in Greenwich Village.
The Millenium Garden features a spiral path that winds
through beds of Salvia including Indigo, Azure and White. Other
features include Forsythia and a continuous border of Juniper
trees. The space for the Garden is located right next to the Hudson
River Park’s Esplanade and borders a unique feature known
as a ‘bow notch’ which is essentially a semi-circle
cut into the bulkhead to accommodate the bow of a ship; now the
bow notch (with its pedestrian bridge), allows visitors to hear
the sounds of the Hudson’s waves splashing against the bulkhead
as they visit the Garden.
The Millenium Garden also includes “THE APPLE”,
a large bronze sculpture by Stephen Weiss, at the center of the
spiral path. The Apple includes a beautiful seating bench as part
of its structure allowing Park visitors to sit and contemplate
the splendid Garden and the majestic Hudson River. This magnificent
jewel enriches an already beautiful area and is maintained by
our horticulture department.
