FHG Foundation Event November 9th Featuring Nick Hirshon

An informative presentation will be given by author Nick Hirshon at the Community House at 3:30 pm on Saturday, November 9th.  His presentation will focus on the early days of The Gardens.

Whether you’ve just unpacked your moving boxes or have cherished memories that stretch back to the days of the Station Square flower shop, we invite you to embark on a delightful journey with us.  The upcoming presentation promises to be more than just a stroll down memory lane, it’s an opportunity to unravel the captivating tapestry of our 100-year plus year old community–an intriguing, unique narrative that regularly draws the attention of historians, architects, urban planners and one that every Gardens resident should know and appreciate.

While an experiment at its time, Forest Hills Gardens was one of America’s first garden city, created out of 142 acres of undeveloped farm land, beginning in 1909.  Please join this enlightening exploration of our special and unique neighborhoods’ legacy and learn what makes Forest Hills Gardens a vibrant gem!  Copies of Mr. Hirshon’s book, “Images of America: Forest Hills” will be on hand for purchasing and signing.

The Forest Hills Gardens Foundation is hosting this gathering and encourages residents to bring the entire family.  Light refreshments will be provided.
