In his second book exploring the urban vernacular of Queens, New York, Rafael Herrin-Ferri shifts his focus to the green spaces that accompany the houses and small multi-family buildings of the "World's Borough." As varied and colorful as the facades featured in All the Queens Houses, these spaces introduce an organic, botanical element to the streetscape. Semi-formal lawns in the French and Italian traditions sit cheek by jowl with the improvised arbors of Chinese vegetable gardens, Caribbean-inspired flower gardens, brightly colored Hindu courtyards, elaborate hand-crafted water features, life-size replicas of fauna, and countless other displays of idiosyncrasy and cultural diversity. Through its photographs and text, this book paints another portrait-softer and greener this time-of the dynamic and multicultural landscape that is Queens.

Explores over 140 gardens and front yards shaped by cultural diversity A vivid look at the borough's unique blend of urban greenery and personal expression Rafael Herrin-Ferri's second photographic exploration following his successful book All the Queens Houses
