Floral Park Home and Garden Tour Sizzles!!
Published by sandytd May 5th, 2008 in Floral Park, Architecture, Historical, Neighborhood Attractions. by sandytd Tags: Floral Park, Floral Park Home and Garden Tour, historical, neighborhood.As temperatures were in the 90’s+ and the weather sizzled, nearly 3,000 guests found their way to gorgeous historic Floral Park for the annual “sizzling” Home and Garden Tour!! Six incredible homes and three lovely garden were displayed as docents directed visitors in a walk through the beauty and peace of yesterday. The flowers and gardens were bursting with color and we even had an herbologist speaking in one of the gardens regarding health and well being.
Nearly 70 vendors displayed their wares, everything from custom ceramics to hand made jewelery and antique furniture and collectibles. The Mothers of Floral Park were serving up fresh lemonade made from the trees of Floral Park as well as fresh baked goods and pizza. We even had a hot dog vendor and snacks. Young entrepreneurs even sold avocados and iced cold water and sodas from their home-made stands and wagons which they pulled around.
It was truly a day full of the joys and excitement of yesteryear as Floral Park strutted its stuff! Everyone took a moment to “smell the roses” in the truest sense of the word! And, all of this hustle and bustle under what were mid-summer skies goes to benefit the neighborhood and several local charities.
If you missed it, come next year on the last full weekend of April. Mark your calendars now!
