A painter by training and a plantings expert by trade, Miller has brought public spaces alive throughout New York City, and not by scattering planter boxes here and there. With the design and plan of such vibrant spaces as the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, Bryant Park and the New York Public Library Gardens, Wagner Park, the Conservatory Gardens in Central Park, and Bowling Green Park, Miller has been giving New Yorkers the gift of beautiful, natural places to escape to for two decades.
Public gardens have a profound effect on people in cities.
And it isn't flowers. It's the magic of nature. It gives people a connection with the changing seasons. Cement and concrete are not enough, and flowers are just the icing on the cake. There is something universally beautiful about the colors of the fall, or a tree with snow on it.
