KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT
Warrie Price

Warrie Price is a woman who knows what she wants and knows how to get it.  It's a skill.  In my experience the people who have it, have learned it from a parent.  I don't have it and I envy those who do.

The Urban Farm at  Battery Park is unique.  It's one of many urban farms in New York City, but it's the only one that is designed to be an art piece.   This is thanks to Warrie Price.  With a donation of bamboo from the art piece, Big Bambu by Doug and Mike Starn, which was on the roof  the Metropolitan Museum last year, two other designers were hired to create the fence enclosing the farm.  It reminds one of a colonial American stockade fence, but with a twist of inspiration, just like the gardens at the Battery.

The Urban Farm will be at the Battery for two or three years.  Replenishing the soil for the new bikeway and gardens designed by Piet Oudolf.  Another lesson in sustainable gardening from The Battery.
