NEW YORK — The setting was more than fitting — albeit a coincidence. In a tony restaurant overlooking The Vessel, the people-magnet landmark of the spiffy new Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s west side, Jean Hudson was talking gardens.
Surrounded by her children — daughter Jeannie and son Webber — grandchildren, nieces and nephews and dozens of ex-Detroiters (former Detroit Institute of Arts director Sam Sachs was in the room), she described last week how a dedicated volunteer group had lured one of the world’s best-known garden designers to take on a commission in Detroit.
