The Curious Garden by Peter Brown



Peter Brown based The Curious Garden on an actual place, a park in Manhattan in New York City. The High Line park is built on an abandoned elevated railroad track. The park is long and skinny and winds its way through the city just above the streets. Use the arrows on the map below to walk the path through The High Line. Don't forget to stop and look around. Click and drag the screen to turn and look out over the city. The map starts at the southern end of the park.



In addition you can also visit The High Line website. The site has tons of photos of the park, the trails, and the artwork made for the park. It is also cool to see historical photos of what the tracks looked like when they were built and used as well as the time after the tracks were closed but before the park was created. It looks a lot like Liam's garden as it started growing!
