Stuyvesant Park
'In 1836 Peter Gerard Stuyvesant (1778-1847) and his wife Helen
Rutherford reserved four acres of the family farm and sold it for five
dollars to the City of New York as a public park. This remarkable gift
may have been the most ambitious gesture of Peter Gerard Stuyvesant, the
co-founder of the New York Historical Society and one of the richest
men in America at his time. A public park in a rapidly expanding city
was a priceless amenity. The creation of Stuyvesant Square was the
catalyst to the development of an exceptional district within which
Stuyvesant’s spirit still thrives."

I love silver birch, the softness of the bark but it's too hot to grow them happily here in Sydney
