Lighting a Garden

While in NYC last week for a wedding (Congratulations, Rachel!), I stopped by a restaurant on the Lower East Side for a late-night snack and came across this rooftop garden.

I have always found rooftop gardens delightful and this one was especially so with little white lights woven through it. 

If you look closely, it's quite simple what they did -- basic wooden shelves are placed in front of a few mirrors and hold various plants in nondescript galvanized pails. A string of white lights tie it all together turning an easy, no fuss garden into something really special.
