Designer Robert Farrell’s escape is an alfresco room he built at the back of his shade garden in Brooklyn
Photo: Robert Farrell Robert Farrell grew up near Fort Tryon Park in the Inwood section of Manhattan, where he spent a great deal of time outdoors and frequently visited the nearby Cloisters. Later, when his family moved to the South Shore of Long Island, he “spent summers hanging out in the woods, biking on trails, getting into a bit of trouble, building forts, and taking endless barefoot walks through streams.

Here, the view from his porch to the back garden room, where shade-loving plants, including low ferns and evergreen Liriope ground coverings, thrive. “My Stewartia trees are important because their multi-trunk bases make the ground beneath them loose and leafy,” Farrell says.
Farrell installed a narrow, asymmetric bluestone walkway that allows him access to the center of the garden plot. Here, outside the garden room, he placed two butterfly chairs he found at the old 26th Street flea market. The fencing that surrounds the entire garden is six-foot stockade French.

“Over the years, I’ve had many great summer parties and BBQs with friends in my garden. I love to cook, and outdoor grilling is the best,” Farrell says. While entertaining is currently on hold, his Smith & Hawken table is perfect for alfresco dining for one.
