New Greenhouse Makes a Bright Effect In Forest Park

By QNS Editorial Posted on May 3, 2012

Students from St. John’s Lutheran School in Glendale helped local elected officials and Parks Department representatives cut the ribbon on the newly-renovated greenhouse at Forest Park at a ceremony on Monday, Apr. 30. As noted, the $3.88 million reconstruction project converted the century-old greenhouse into a state-of-the-art facility featuring a new ventiliation system, a redesigned interior and a new heating system. On hand for the occasion were (standing in the back row, from left to right) Dorie Figliola of Assemblyman Mike Miller’s office; Community Board 5 District Manager Gary Giordano; Community Board 9 District Manager Mary Ann Carey; Queens Parks Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski; Queens Borough President Helen Marshall; City Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe; Lydon Sleeper, chief of staff to City Council Member Elizabeth Crowley; Peter DeLucia of State Sen. Joseph Addabbo’s office; and Debbie Kuha, administrator of Forest and Highland parks.
