Shelly Freierman writes in the New York Times: “…the spring season of show houses and house and garden tours has begun in New York City. This year’s sampling includes private modern art collections, shiny new kitchens, lush plantings and antiques galore.
PROSPECT HEIGHTS, FORT GREENE AND CLINTON HILL: About 15 private gardens and 6 community gardens will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the Brownstone Brooklyn Garden District‘s annual garden walk on June 5.
Freierman says this will include: “… a stone-walled garden with grapevines, blueberries and strawberries; a terraced garden; and a landscape with the plants arranged around a raised pool. Six community gardens will also be included.”
You can get advance tickets for $10 at the Forest Floor (659 Vanderbilt Ave. at Park Place, Prospect Heights) and Hibiscus Garden Center (564 Vanderbilt Avenue at Bergen, Prospect Heights). More information: (718) 707-1277.
