Amber Freda Landscape Landscape designer Amber Freda, AKA The Gotham Gardener, will plan and create the garden of your dreams, like this co-op roof garden on top of a pre-war apartment building in Greenwich Village. The garden was designed as a community space for the building’s residents to relax, entertain, dine, and enjoy the view.
Freda is well known among celebrities and Manhattan penthouse apartment owners for her ability to transform vast swathes of black tar into strikingly lush oases on city roof gardens. She brings a modern design flair combined with the wisdom of years of hands-on botanical knowledge to the landscapes she creates—tiny jewels nestled between clouds and skyscrapers.
