US: Queens Greenhouse hosts flowers, plants for NY City parks
CBS2’s Vanessa Murdock got a rare look inside the greenhouse on Friday. The annuals and perennials planted in flowerbeds throughout the parks of Queens were growing inside.
“We grow approximately 100,000 plants in the spring growing season,” said director of horticulture Adriana Jacykewycz.
Geraniums, Dusty Millers, and vincas all start in the greenhouse as seeds. Gardeners sow the seeds in December, and by the spring, they emerge into a bold array of colors and textures.
On this Friday in late April, the plants were ready for the bigtime. They were being stored in a poly house, where they were ready to go outside.
