Jackson Heights Life

Thirty years ago, JHBG first launched its Historic Jackson Heights Weekend highlighting our unique garden community.  And over the decades people have come from far and wide (and, of course, close to home) to attend the exhibit of original photographs and ephemera, a slide presentation, the garden tour and the walking tour.  Attendance has grown to a total of over 300 for all events over the last few years.

Sadly, the pandemic forced the cancellation of the June 2020 and June 2021 events. However, we are preparing for a “slimmed down” version this September. We invite you to join us.  Tickets are $10 for each tour.

Garden Tour: Saturday September 18th Noon to 4pm
Raindate: September 25th

We anticipate 14 gardens participating this year.  This is our first autumn tour offering a unique opportunity to view the gardens as summer comes to a close.

Purchase tour tickets in advance at Espresso 77 (35-57 77th St) or on the day of the event in front of the Community Church (35th Avenue between 81st and 82nd St).  We also hope to have books and T-shirts available for sale.

Walking Tour: Sunday September 19th at Noon

Tours will meet at 11:45 in front of the Community Church.  We ask that you reserve in advance by calling (347)-766-9129 so that enough guides are available to keep each tour group under 20 people.
