Nice essay on finding beauty in the unlikeliest places in your neighborhood.
The writing is good. Love the imagery of seeing the diamonds on the street... but really they're just broken glass.
Reporter's essay takes us on-the-scene as she explores the gardens -- hidden treasures -- in her neighorhood.
But she needed to allow more spacing between the scene changes and between her studio read and her on-the-scene narration. They were edited too tightly.

Review of Garden Renaissance in Brooklyn
Nice essay on finding beauty in the unlikeliest places in your neighborhood.
The writing is good. Love the imagery of seeing the diamonds on the street... but really they're just broken glass.
Reporter's essay takes us on-the-scene as she explores the gardens -- hidden treasures -- in her neighorhood.
But she needed to allow more spacing between the scene changes and between her studio read and her on-the-scene narration. They were edited too tightly.
The story needed to breathe a bit more.
All in all, pleasant listening.
