Yoder Garden Mum Chelsey Pink is Only Available Between May 16 and Aug 22
North Carolina Farms, Inc.
Breeder Tip
The Chelsey family offers ideal flower size, uniform flowering, and a round habit. Mix and match pink, white, and yellow varieties for a perfect Autumn retail display. Pair with Danielle and Beverly families in blackcloth or natural season production. This Yoder© Select variety holds up well in high temperatures and is great for large containers and landscape applications.
Yoder Garden Mums© have a long history of outstanding quality and leading performance among mums. Family designations and a vast array of specialized varieties make it easy to choose plants for optimal production and well-balanced pairings. Garden Mums© have a mounding habit, produce a multitude of blooms, and grow well in container sizes from a cell pack to a 14" pot. Propagation prohibited.
We recommend that the diameter of your finished plant be 1.5 to 2 times the pot size. On average, starting with a rooted cutting, a Garden Mum will grow 1.5″ per week. Knowing this, if you want your 6″ Garden Mum to finish with a 12″ spread you would need to plant rooted cuttings 8 weeks prior to your desired finish date. You will need to pick your arrival date based on the bloom time of your variety and finished pot size.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
Planting and Fertilization
Garden Mums grow well in a well-drained, loose, soilless media. Peat based or bark based mixes work well. Be sure to plant rooted cuttings as soon as they arrive in moist media. Do not use any type of water retaining gel. This will create root disease. Begin liquid N-P-K fertilizer containing 200-300 ppm Nitrogen as soon as you plant your rooted cutting. You may consider using controlled-release fertilizer to ensure a steady supply of nutrients if your crops are grown outside with overhead irrigation. If you go this route, be sure to choose a CRF that contains trace elements, plan to use it at a high application rate, and keep a close eye on EC levels to supplement if low fertility occurs. We recommend drip irrigation and water-soluble fertilizer. Weekly soil tests are recommended for maintenance. Grow mums in full sun for best quality.
Garden Mums require a considerable amount of well-balanced fertilizer. During the vegetative stage of development, we recommend using a balanced 20-10-20 fertilizer at 250-300 ppm with each watering. During flower development, switch to a potassium rich fertilizer like 15-5-30 or KNO3 at 300 ppm until flowers show color. Maintain a soil pH of 5.8-6.2. Once you see color, use clear water. Applying magnesium sulfate as a spray before first color will make plants stronger, enhance color and extend shelf life.
Some growers have trialed an alternative constant liquid feed program of 75-150 ppm N, 1-2 ppm Iron from a complete micronutrient fertilizer package, and 25-30 ppm magnesium sulfate. This program reduces costs and simplifies irrigation by using the same fertilizer throughout the plant’s growth. Doing a trial of this method is recommended before switching over, as it requires vigilant monitoring to succeed.
Irrigation
Irrigation is extremely important for producing high-quality Garden Mums. Do not allow wilting during the early stages of growth, as it can restrict branching and overall growth and lead to premature budding. Late in the growth of your crop, some minimal wilting can help harden off the plants, control height, and contribute to uniform flowering. We recommend drip irrigation for uniform watering and because it keeps foliage dry, helping to prevent leaf spotting and foliar disease. If you do use overhead irrigation, be sure your plants are dry before evening.
Pulse irrigation can more fully irrigate pots with drip irrigation. Simply run the irrigation cycle in two or three segments with time in between. This allows the water and fertilizer to soak into the pot rather than just drip out the bottom. It also keeps pots from drying out. Do not apply extra water during hot periods, as this leads to overwatering, nutrient loss, and chlorosis. Instead syringe plants to reduce heat stress, or use 25-30% greenhouse shade to reduce heat (keeping in mind that this reduction in light will affect response).
Flowering
Garden Mums grown in full sun will have the best quality.
Premature budding occurs when plants initiate flower buds before they reach the reproductive stage due to stressful environmental and growing conditions. This will result in plants finishing short and flowering too early. The following steps could prevent premature budding even if you notice small initiated flower buds on your starting material:
- Never allow plants to dry during vegetative stage
- Light cuttings during rooting — 4 hours night interruption
- Avoid planting/moving outside too early in the North
- Feed with phosphor-rich fertilizer at 200-300 ppm right after transplanting to promote vegetative growth
- If unable to maintain proper temperature and lighting, apply Florel week before or after transplanting at 500ppm no later than June 20th to avoid flower delays.
Pinching
For the most part, Garden Mums© can be treated as no pinch varieties. If you choose to pinch your crop because you are in a low-humidity area or as part of a blackcloth crop, use the follow guidelines. Pinch when the plant have established roots and 1-1.5" new growth, usually 10-14 days after planting. Pinch out the top .5" of growth. A final pinch can be done in early July in cool areas, or as late as early August in warm regions. You generally do not need to pinch Garden Mums© and are better off starting plants in mid-June with no pinching than starting them earlier with multiple pinches. Pinching hard may delay flowering.
Spacing
Spacing will vary from grower to grower depending on finished pot size and your target sales market. For best results, the foliage should never touch. To calculate spacing, a good rule of thumb is to use the expected diameter of the plant plus 2″.
Height Control
No growth regulators are typically needed. If most or all of the varieties you grow require PGRs to keep them from getting too big, consider a later plant date to reduce growing time and, therefore, size. Proper fertilizer and irrigation also contribute to plant size. If you need PGRs, B-9 sprayed at 2500 to 5000 ppm will slow the growth. A Bonzi spray at 30-50 ppm or drench at 0.5-2 ppm will almost completely stop all growth. A drench at the very end of the crop cycle can maintain plants at their finished size prior to shipping. The last PGR application should be no later than 4 weeks before first color. Excessive or late applications of growth regulators will delay flowering. Florel will not increase branching but is recommended as a foliar spray to prevent premature budding during rooting, about three days after planting rooted cuttings, and every 10-14 days until two weeks before short days. This treatment is not necessary for indoor finished crops. Florel may not abort existing buds but will prevent formation of new flower buds.
Pests
The most common pests drawn to this crop are Leafminers, Aphids, Mites, Caterpillars,and Thrips. Our supplier recommends a rotation of Avid, Citation®, Mainspring GNL and Conserve® SC; do a block rotation of three spray applications each of Avid and Citation and then move to the next product.
Disease
Bacterial Leaf Spot is the most significant disease for mums. The best treatment is preventative measures, primarily starting with cleaning cuttings, planting media, equipment, and cultural practices. If you are growing in the field, be sure to clear out any weeds and debris and level any low spots where water may collect. Flush the irrigation line with water plus 2-3 ppm chlorine. Check the lines for clogging and replace drippers as needed. A preventative fungicide rotation can be beneficial, especially if Fusarium Sp. has been a problem in the past. Our supplier recommends a rotation of Heritage® (0.9 oz/100 gal) or Mural® fungicides (2–3 oz/100 gal) as a drench four weeks after planting, followed by a Medallion® fungicide drench (2 oz/100 gal) four weeks later; then an application of Mural® fungicide spray (7 oz/100 gal) focused on the center of the plant three weeks after the Medallion fungicide treatment.
Treat Pythium root rot by closely monitoring EC and pH levels and maintaining the proper range. You can also use a rotation of the following products, one drench every 21-28 days: Subdue Maxx® 1–2 fl oz per 100 gallons, 3 Truban® 4–10 fl oz per 100 gallons, 21 Segway® 1.5–3 fl oz per 100 gallons, 11+7 Mural 2–3 oz per 100 gallons.
Planting Yoder Garden Mum Chelsey Pink Liners
- Plant deep so the top of our ellepot is slightly below the soil level in your container. It is especially hard to plant deep in a growing media with a high content of pine bark. Slow down the transplant line, and do it right.
- Plant in the center. This will eliminate any issue of lopsided, wobbly plants at finish. There is a chance you had 10-15% plugs planted off-center last season.
- Do not pinch. Garden Mums© have the ability to self-pinch. None of the pinch techniques are perfect, and you will never achieve good uniformity from pinched plugs.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

This treatment is not necessary for indoor finished crops. Florel may not abort existing buds but will prevent formation of new flower buds.
Pests
The most common pests drawn to this crop are Leafminers, Aphids, Mites, Caterpillars,and Thrips. Our supplier recommends a rotation of Avid, Citation®, Mainspring GNL and Conserve® SC; do a block rotation of three spray applications each of Avid and Citation and then move to the next product.
Disease
Bacterial Leaf Spot is the most significant disease for mums. The best treatment is preventative measures, primarily starting with cleaning cuttings, planting media, equipment, and cultural practices. If you are growing in the field, be sure to clear out any weeds and debris and level any low spots where water may collect. Flush the irrigation line with water plus 2-3 ppm chlorine. Check the lines for clogging and replace drippers as needed. A preventative fungicide rotation can be beneficial, especially if Fusarium Sp. has been a problem in the past. Our supplier recommends a rotation of Heritage® (0.9 oz/100 gal) or Mural® fungicides (2–3 oz/100 gal) as a drench four weeks after planting, followed by a Medallion® fungicide drench (2 oz/100 gal) four weeks later; then an application of Mural® fungicide spray (7 oz/100 gal) focused on the center of the plant three weeks after the Medallion fungicide treatment.
Treat Pythium root rot by closely monitoring EC and pH levels and maintaining the proper range. You can also use a rotation of the following products, one drench every 21-28 days: Subdue Maxx® 1–2 fl oz per 100 gallons, 3 Truban® 4–10 fl oz per 100 gallons, 21 Segway® 1.5–3 fl oz per 100 gallons, 11+7 Mural 2–3 oz per 100 gallons.
Planting Yoder Garden Mum Chelsey Pink Liners
- Plant deep so the top of our ellepot is slightly below the soil level in your container. It is especially hard to plant deep in a growing media with a high content of pine bark. Slow down the transplant line, and do it right.
- Plant in the center. This will eliminate any issue of lopsided, wobbly plants at finish. There is a chance you had 10-15% plugs planted off-center last season.
- Do not pinch. Garden Mums© have the ability to self-pinch. None of the pinch techniques are perfect, and you will never achieve good uniformity from pinched plugs.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

The imagined metamorphosis of a former 1900s industrial site to show how brownfield land can be rehabilitated using existing and repurposed materials to establish a new environmentally aware landscape. “With thousands of new homes set to be built on brownfield sites over the coming years, this garden reflects the challenges of inheriting poor soil conditions,” says Paul. The planting is based on a mix of native pioneer species and endemic plants which rehabilitate polluted soils, with garden-worthy shrubs and perennials that require little maintenance or flower for long periods of time. The garden promotes trees, shrubs and other plants that collect carbon at higher rates and improve air quality and highlights a range of techniques all gardeners can adopt to make the planet more sustainable for tomorrow.

This garden unites the prominent issues of global deforestation and social injustice. A deforested mangrove sculpture at the centre acts as a stark remind of the impacts we are having on our ecosystems.

The garden is designed to be relocated and includes pollinator-friendly, edible, ornamental and architectural plants suited to inner city landscapes. Through the centre, an upcycled crushed concrete path represents the challenges and threats of racism, poverty and violence in 19060s and 70s London.

William Morris’s work was heavily influenced by flowers and gardens.

The planting includes a selection from his designs and other cottage garden favourites in a palette of earthy reds, apricots and blues. The garden’s legacy will be to ‘seed’ several new community gardens in Islington in collaboration with the Arc Centre Gardening Collective.

A garden that inspires us to connect with each other for our mental health. Sculptural rough-textured clay rendered walls swirl through the sloping garden. In places they enclose calm seating areas, frame views and create backdrops for the planting. Elsewhere the walls come close together forming narrow passages before opening out into wider spaces. The tactile walls are part of a biophilic design ethos encompassing exposure to woodland and meadows, natural materials and water. The garden is largely set among open woodland with generous swathes of colourful meadow planting at the woodland edge. “This is the first time I have been 100 per cent in control of the brief and I have designed a garden that really functions as a garden,” says Andy.

A celebration of the history and modernity of the RNLI, which is nearly 200 years old. The design combines hints of the organisation’s Georgian origins, with a classically inspired green oak pavilion at the rear, with contemporary design cues including a contemporary green oak arcade. The rich planting is in a pastel palette of whites, blues and pinks, with statement trees including Ulmus parvifolia and Pinus sylvestris, hinting at the traditional lifeboat building materials. “The whole colour scheme is influenced by those very hazy summer days on the coastline,” says Chris.

Design Anniversary of the Queen of England, Canary foxglove, clematis, pines and copper.
Chelsea Flower Show – an annual exhibition of flowers and garden art – held in the fashionable London district of Chelsea since 1913 and is undoubtedly the most prestigious in the field of garden design and floristry. The famous flower festival on the territory of the Royal Hospital is traditionally patronized by the royal family. The day before the official opening, the exhibition was visited by Elizabeth II, and with her for the first time the younger generation of Windsors – the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Anniversary of the Queen of Great Britain is the central theme of this flower show. A profile of Elizabeth II of several thousand flowers, her numerous portraits in pavilions are just some of the congratulations to the Queen from gardeners and florists from all over the world. This year, the designers focused not so much on the plants themselves, but on landscape gardening sculptures and decorative elements, thereby emphasizing, in addition to the aesthetic, social and creative role of the garden in human life.
The Grand Prix was awarded to the design of the famous landscape designer Andy Sturgeon, who designed The Telegraph Garden. Quite traditional plantings coexisted with monumental volumes covered with copper sheets, reminiscent of a mountain range or fish fins. The strict and laconic composition of the garden, according to the author, is intended to remind the viewer of the transience of the moment and the greatness of the Earth.
Gold medal of the festival – Andy Stegen’s garden.
Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medal: Senri-Sentei Garden by Japanese designer Kazuyuki Ishihara.
The Chelsea Barracks Garden is a project by British studio Jo Thompson MSGD.
Nick Bailey’s Mathematics Garden project.
Project by Hai Jung Hwang for LG.
The Imperial Garden project by Russian designer Tatyana Goltsova.
The “historical” project of the British landscape studio Jo Thompson MSGD – The Chelsea Barracks Garden – also received the gold medal of the festival. The name refers to the building of the British garrison of the Victorian era, located in Westminster. The composition of the garden is dominated by a rose – the flower is reminiscent of the garrison chapel with its Gothic window. Silver medalist, designer Nick Bailey, presented an unusual project “Mathematician’s Garden”. The key element of the composition, a copper ribbon covered with formulas, curled through the entire composition, becoming either a bench, or a railing, or a fence, or the roof of an arbor. The concept of Hay Joung Hwang, the author of Smart Garden from LG, was the smart house. The designer demonstrated that technology can not only manage the living space, but also the landscape adjacent to it. For the second time in the history of this festival, a Russian landscape designer took part in the Chelsea Flower Show 2016. Tatyana Goltsova showed The Imperial Garden project. He became the silver medalist of the show. The central motif was lace, the weaving of which for the author reflects maximum harmony.
Flower of the Year – Koreana Amber.
What is relevant this year?
1. Isoplexis canariensis. Canary orange accents were seen in many compositions. Foxglove (Isoplexis canariensis), a cultivar of one of England’s favorite plants, adorned the winning garden of impeccable pro Andy Stegen.
2. Traveling the world… or a new savagery. “Urban garden for a couple who travel a lot” is one of the themes of this festival. Provence or the Wild West, the Alps or the Andes – the skill of European designers allows you to travel even to the southeastern part of India. Exotic gardens require special care, but the effect is worth it. A complex flower palette must be calculated with mathematical precision. The following plants should be taken from the botanical atlas today: the giant Angelica gygas, magnificent proteas, lupins, oak sage, common lumbago (Pulsatilla vulgaris) and pines in all their diversity.
3. Copper and brutal stones. Rough surfaces, rusty metal, all shades of copper on a pebbly background, and bronze sculptures are enduring elements of a structured landscape.
4. From home to garden. Endless benches, stairs leading to comfortable seating areas, various garden furniture that makes the garden look like a living room are a definite trend.
5. Koreana Amber. Traditionally, the Chelsea Flower Show jury chooses the best flower of the year. Clematis Koreana Amber was declared the winner – the plant blooms from early to mid-summer and blooms again in September.
The Queen’s Anniversary is the central theme of the Chelsea Flower Show 2016.
Imperial Garden: Revive, silver medalist at Chelsea Flower Show 2016 | Garden projects
Project authors: landscape designer Tatiana Goltsova, sculptor Victoria Chichinadze
Sponsor: garden center Imperial Garden (Russia)
Imperial Garden: Revive was awarded the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2016 Silver Medal
This year, for the second time in the history of the famous Chelsea Flower Show, which is held under the patronage of the Queen of Great Britain, a team from Russia took part. The author, landscape designer Tatyana Goltsova talks about an unusual Russian project, its fresh ideas and bold sponsors.
Garden plan
DC: Tatiana, why did you decide to participate in the Chelsea Flower Show?
Tatyana Goltsova: | Everything is simple. Because it is the best landscape exhibition in the world. Where, if not in Chelsea?
DiS: For the Chelsea Show, many well-known brands choose their own designers to create gardens. You had to work not only on the project, but also on finding sponsors. Is it difficult to convince our businessmen of the importance of their support in the implementation of international projects?
TG: | Highly. Moreover, this was the first time in the history of Russian landscape design. Fully sponsored, multi-million dollar, exhibition garden. Moreover, abroad, in London, with a debuting designer. Sponsors are business people, they know how to calculate risks very well. There were quite a lot of them here. But we managed to get support from three big players. Moscow Flower Show and its President Karina Lazareva have provided us with great reputational support. The German plant nursery Lorberg provided the plants. Imperial Garden became the general sponsor of the project.
DC: What is special about the Fresh Gardens nomination?
TG: | This is a new nomination for Chelsea. Fresh Gardens – fresh, innovative gardens. New technologies, unusual approaches, non-standard ideas are welcome in this nomination. As an example, this year the “gold” was given to a garden built inside a huge stone cube. It could only be seen through small holes in the wall. And you know, the idea worked, there was a huge queue to the garden all the days. I was lucky to see him during the installation days. The authors brought a large ladder, and I saw the whole garden, from above. Inside there was only one plant in bloom and many herbs around the perimeter of the mirror. They created the illusion that there are a lot of flowers in the garden.
DS: What new, fresh ideas did you bring to Chelsea?
TG: | All the days we watched the visitors of the exhibition, and you know what we understood? That the main breakthrough was the appearance of a Russian garden on Chelsea. Everyone walked and repeated: charming, Russian, different. “Different” is not like any garden of the exhibition. In fact – calm, peaceful … “relax” is another word that we heard daily. And according to the concept – lace. And it was the first time in over 100 years of Chelsea history.
DS: The Imperial Garden: Revive was not designed as a living space. Rather, it is perceived as an artistic object with a certain aesthetic and moral content. Moreover, from different people who saw it, one could get a variety of interpretations of the meaning: from the importance of the theme of the passage of time, in the flow of which a person ceases to notice the beauty of the world around him, to the idea of reviving friendly relations between Russia, Ukraine and England. Is this ambiguity part of the garden concept?
TG: | Yes, absolutely right. We wanted to create a garden with many meanings. Like a work of art that everyone feels in their own way. For us, the main thing is that the garden prompts reflection. And what they are about – about time, harmony, relationships, values - this is already at the discretion of the beholder.
DiS: Is the landscape reproduced in the project mostly fantasy or are there any prototypes?
TG: | Fantasy. He could be completely different. We started with the concept of a rift, but gradually it transformed into a rebirth. The main message for us was – complete freedom of creativity.
DiS: How were the plants selected for the project, according to what principles?
TG: | We wanted to show the beauty of wild, essentially weed plants. They created the structure of the garden. And in addition to them, delicate irises and onions were added.
DiS: There are a lot of artistic objects in the landscape — sculpture, construction intertwined with wood, lace-wheels on the water… How do art and nature correlate in your work?
TG: | I don’t share them. Perhaps that is why everything is intertwined in our project. The natural and man-made beginnings penetrate each other. In my opinion, that’s how it is in life. The most important thing is to find a balance.

French lessons
The purpose of this exhibition garden is to show that even in a small space, the classic parterre looks very dignified. A small picturesque pond with nymphs and a figurine of an angel gives the garden an intimacy. The background of the composition is an elegant mixborder with white roses, hydrangeas and lilies. Topiary forms, so similar to yews, are ordinary trimmed Christmas trees near Moscow …

Three sides of one garden
A three-sided plot may seem like a daunting task to some gardeners, but not to the Davies. Barry and Melanie know how to take advantage of given circumstances. They decided that if the garden was in the shape of a triangle, then the feature of each of its sides, adjacent to the Victorian cottage, would be what was most natural for it …

At first glance, this garden captivates with elegant luxury. Located on several smoothly descending terraces, it forms an integral semantic and architectural ensemble with the house. Ordinary plot in a cottage village. Almost square configuration, diagonal slope. Of the buildings – a house, a bathhouse, a garage, a gazebo. But something subtly distinguishes this garden, distinguishing it from many others…

It extends from 14th Street to 34th and 6th Avenues to the Hudson River. The Chelsea area just made it to Timeout’s “The 49 Coolest Neighborhoods in the World”. This area of Manhattan’s West Side is known for its many restaurants, famous landmarks including the High Line, and art galleries. Between the opening of “Little Island” this year and the opening of “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The King’s Pleasure” exhibition next spring in the Chelsea area, one of the most “gay-friendly” in Manhattan, but a neighborhood that also has some sort of French tinge. ..
Chelsea is among the coolest neighborhoods in the world
Timeout magazine’s “ 49 coolest neighborhoods in the world” rating has just been released and awarded to 49 neighborhoods scattered across the four corners of the planet under the title “Coolest neighborhood in the world”. The Chelsea area of Manhattan is ranked 6th.
The Chelsea area has food for every taste, from easy talk to flea markets, restaurants, gay bars and green buildings. Chelsea is a successful combination of industrial style and modern construction with one motto: the walk. Trendy restaurants, cafes, small shops and an openness to water and nature – if Chelsea made the Timout rankings, there’s a good reason for it.
Chelsea is one of the oldest neighborhoods in New York City to retain its original name. In 1750, an English entrepreneur named Thomas Clark bought a “ten square block” plot of land by the Hudson River and named the estate “Chelsea” after a soldier’s home near London. Over the years, developers have built the heart of Chelsea between 14th and 23rd streets west of Eighth Avenue and designed the area with the boundaries we know today. Among the monuments, both literally and figuratively, of the Chelsea area, the famous Chelsea Hotel, Madison Square Garden, High Line, Chelsea Market, Little Island … But not only! Chelsea is an area that has its own secrets.
Chelsea Secrets
The Grand Lodge of New York is the largest and oldest independent body of Freemasons in New York. The Grand Lodge, founded December 15, 1782, has jurisdiction over 60,000 Freemasons. The historic structure at 23rd Street and 6th Avenue has been the site of various blood and charity events, as well as the NYC Masonic Security Identification Program.
Chelsea’s other secret is the atomic bomb… Although much of the research on the project was done at Columbia University, Chelsea also played a small but important role in the development of the atomic bomb. On West 20th Street, three buildings once made up the Baker and Williams warehouses, which held thousands of tons of uranium. At the end of 19In the 1980s and early 1990s, the federal government cleared the buildings of residual uranium by disposing of more than a dozen barrels of radioactive waste.
Another, sweeter secret… The building that now houses Chelsea Market was once the headquarters of the National Biscuit Company, or Nabisco. The factory officially opened in 1890 when eight bakeries joined together to create a “super bakery” and continued to expand until 1958 when the company left Manhattan. At 19’12 Nabisco invented what is undoubtedly Chelsea’s most famous product: the Oreo cookie. Chief Culinary Specialist Sam Porcello created a recipe that has hardly changed a century later. The company also made classics such as salted salts, vanilla wafers, Newton figs, and Barnum’s Animal Crackers. Many remnants of the original Nabisco factory are still there. At the entrance to Chelsea Market from 9th Avenue between 15th and 16th Streets, the Nabisco plaque dating from 1898 is still triumphant.
A bit of France in Chelsea
Though many might think High Line The concept of turning old railroad tracks into a park originated in Chelsea. The High Line was actually inspired by the Parisian project La Coulée Verte, located in the 12th arrondissement of the French capital, built in 1993 from an abandoned railway line. The project, both architectural and green, follows the old Vincennes railway line and crosses the overpass leading to the Bastille. The High Line, the American counterpart to Coulée Verte, was to have retail space below it, but plans were canceled after the area below the park was privatized.
New York officially has about 40,000 French people, so Chelsea is also an area taken over by expatriates. On 29th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues, since 2015, O’Cabanon restaurant has been located with an adjoining store where you can find a wide range of French products: biscuits, preserves, syrups, cheese, cold cuts, chocolate, cosmetics and even books in French.
Further south, in Chelsea Market itself, Norman pastry chef Jérémy Rousselet serves as Tiny Feast chef. In French, the menu includes sandwiches with ham and cheese baguette, charcuterie and donuts. ” I have a lot of good memories of donuts: they remind me of summer and holidays, their delicious smell, and when I was a kid in France I used to go to a bakery after school to eat a donut. – French chef explains on the Tiny Feast website.
On 7th avenue, between 19th and 20e rue, Le Singe Vert, a romantic bistro with cold cuts, snails, onion soup, endive salad with duck confit, steak tartare or even a liquor store.
