Go behind the scenes in one of 3 greenhouses run by NYC — open to the public one day a year

Behind a tall fence near the Carousel off Woodhaven Boulevard in Forest Park lies the Queens Greenhouses, a series of interconnected hothouses — some dating back more than 100 years — that serve as bloom central for the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. And you’re invited to take a personal tour on April 28, 2018, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m., led by the gardeners who brighten up our gray and gritty sidewalks and curbsides. It’s the one-day a year that the greenhouses are open to the public.
