Hi Everyone

I'm in Brooklyn, NY.

The City of New York just planted a tree in front of my house. They dug and prepared a 4' x 6' area for the tree. I would like to plant some flowers or flowering plants ( not too tall & very low maintenance) in the the area beneath the tree.

I'm not a gardener and don't know much about flowers, but I do love to look at them. Please give me some ideas of what I could plant.

Thank you in advance.

Look around the neighborhood parks and check out what's planted- that's going to be a wonderful first source for discovering what grows well in your little corner of the world.
The lovely people at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden can offer a wealth of information, advice and encouragement.

Good luck.

Good advice as always MrsS Smile

Daniel, I'm intrigued. You're the second newby in hours to give their location as Switzerland. The other one was asking about plumbing. Is this site suddenly big in the Cantons, so that Swiss expats in the US think of us first for all their housing needs ? Or is there a Switzerland in the US, nearer to Brooklyn than "Little Switzerland", Wisconsin (which doesn't really count) or the Helvetian Confederation itself?
