Capital One's Blacktop Courtyard Ugliest In Carroll Gardens?

Carroll Gardeners take immense pride in the neighborhood's signature courtyards. They have, after all, given the neighborhood its name.   Most of these front gardens are lovingly planted and bloom from spring to fall.  There are a few, however, that have been totally neglected.  As one reader pointed out to me, one of those is the 'blacktop' yard attached to Capital One at 420 Court Street at the corner of Second Place.  He writes:

To your knowledge, has anyone tried to get Capital One's blacktop garden? It is such a shame that they just do the cheapest, ugliest thing possible with that garden space rather than beautify it. To me it shows a disregard and disrespect for the neighborhood. I kind of doubt that your average Capital One branch in the suburbs doesn't have even the most basic landscaping outside of it.   I did call them a few months ago and spoke to a manager and while the conversation didn't go anywhere (it's up to corporate, no one's ever even suggested that, etc.)Getting them to do something with the garden would be a major win for everyone

To be fair, the yard has looked like this for many years now, even when this was a branch of Home Federal Savings Bank and later, Northfork Bank.
But I agree.  The yard is truly an eye sore and isn't even kept particularly clean.  A few plants would go a long way to making this corner look just a bit nicer.
How about it, Capital One?
