Yale University Press. Very Good. 8.56 x 0.48 x 11 inches. Paperback. 1995. 160 pages. <br>Jimmy's garden on the Lower East Side of Manhattan ?an assortment of stones and garbage bags, five tires, a chair, a skid, a refrigerator shelf, some ailanthus trees and goldfish, a wooden fence, and a pond with water carried by hand from a nearb y fire hydrant?was recently bulldozed by the city. Jimmy then dis appeared. Anna's garden is surrounded by a tall chainlink fence and filled with a menagerie of dolls and stuffed animals. The ani mals are whole, the dolls are maimed. Anna is a recluse who speak s to no one. The neighbors say she was in a concentration camp as a child. Gardens have always been associated with wealth and le isure, viewed as an addition to home. In this remarkable book a l andscape architect and a photographer show us, in word and pictur es, gardens built by homeless or impoverished New York City inhab itants. Like traditional gardens, these spaces are designed for p leasure, social activity, or private retreat. Unlike traditional gardens, they are connected to a more active and ephemeral use of the land. Transitory gardens speak the language of our times: here we find the reuse of nearly everything discarded, a sparing use of water and plant materials, an economical treatment of spac e, and a penchant for icons, toys, flags, and symbols of freedom and nationality. The gardens expand our definition of what makes a garden and what its design means for its creator. Diana Balmori 's commentary and Margaret Morton's photographs combine with the garden-makers' own descriptions to encourage us to take note of g ardens grown in unlikely places, on abandoned, littered lots, bou nded by debris. By focusing on what homeless people make not for material comfort but from social and spiritual need, the book off ers insight into both the meaning of landscape and the place of a garden in the life of an individual under duress.
