Children planting in Thos. Jefferson Park, N.Y.C. (LOC)

  "A children’s farm garden, one of many which flourished in parks in the first half of the 20th century, opened on May 20, 1911 with 1008 plots for children to grow flowers and vegetables. Designed as a place of respite for child laborers, the farm garden later hosted nature study classes and, during the World Wars, provided a lesson in self-sufficiency for local children." www.nycgovparks.org/sub_your_park/historical_signs/hs_his...

  You're welcome, Ryan..I don't even remember this one from 6 years ago. This view is looking from the East River, maybe from a recreational pier that was about there in the river, northwest across Jefferson Park to the corner of 113th St. and Pleasant Avenue. www.google.com/maps/@40.7938455,-73.9331828,834m/data=!3m...
