Linda Yang

Linda Yang is known for her garden columns in the New York Times, which were widely syndicated from 1979-1995. Both her articles and her photographs have been published in numerous home and garden magazines, and she is the author of three books other than The City Gardener’s Handbook. Her friendly, wise, and authoritative writing comes from a genuine love of gardening and from firsthand experiences that include “quite a bit of trial and more than one error.” At present she tills one-fortieth of an acre of Manhattan, the area around the townhouse she shares with her husband.
