A few months ago, I told you all about a wonderful book I had bought for my son, a book we still read once or twice a week. I recently bought another copy of The Curious Garden as a birthday gift for a friend of my son. That very same day, I found out that The High Line in NYC, which was the basis for the story in the book, has been renovated, turned into a garden and is open to the public!
What a wonderful epilogue to this story. Next time I’m in New York, I know where I’ll be heading!
[Definitely check out The High Line's website for more info and more photos!]

I gave that book to a friend’s child (who just happens to be named Liam, like the book’s main character), and he loves it. I’ll have to show him photos of the real-life garden, too.
