A s the author of the " City Gardeners Handbook " (previously reviewed here on Metropolitan Gardening) and a alumni garden writer for the New York Times, Linda Yang is a go to for tough gardening questions. She's the long time friend of NYC plant luminary David Protell and Garden Center Manager Rose DiCostanzo - so invited Metropolitan Gardening to the Chelsea Garden Center in Red Hook where she walked us through 3 important tips for seasonal gardening and decorating.
