Stop and Smell the Barrenwort

By SETH KUGEL for The New York Times, May 6, 2007

ADRIAN BENEPE, New York City's parks commissioner, boasts that when it comes to gardens, New York City is “comparable with Paris.”...

...But one neighborhood, Jackson Heights in Queens (disclosure: I live there), has the city's true secret gardens, blocklong interior courtyards largely invisible from the street (disclosure: my apartment looks out on one). On Saturday, June 9, an annual map-provided, self-guided garden tour opens them to the public from noon to 4 p.m. (disclosure: if you steal any of our flowers, I'll get you)...

The Jackson Heights Garden Tour (718-565-5344) is on June 9. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased the morning of the event at the Community Church, 81-10 35th Avenue.

the video journalism challenge from VJ Grab Bag

by Matt Rivera for VJ Grab Bag

...Queens is the most ethnically diverse place on the planet. A variant of this has it that Jackson Heights, Zip Code 11372, is the most diverse neighborhood in the world.

...We are invading Jackson Heights!

You know how this works. We want stories. Show us the weirdos, the one of a kinds, the transplants, the nativists. Tell us about the train or the first Garden City Development.

The whole world is fair game...
