22 Washington Square North is a historical landmark building and houses the NYU Admissions Office.

Before this project was undertaken in April of 2006, this 110 sq ft. front garden of the building was composed of old, leggy boxwood and a tangled mass of ivy. NYU Garden Shop removed all existing plant material except for the London Planetree.  We chose Azalea 'Northern Lights" Mandarin Orange, Azalea 'Weston's Innocence,' Gallium odoratum, Deutzia Gracilis, Viburnum carlesii, Osteopermum, New Guinea Impatiens, Lavender 'Provence,' Skimmia japonica, and Pieris japonica 'Red Mill." We chose shrubs and perennials as a sustainable alternative and to minimize the number of annual plantings.

It is an ongoing project which includes maintaining the front garden.
