Here s what it was like inside a one-day pop-up vaccine site at Sunnyside Community Services in NYC.

The coronavirus disease had killed more Queens residents than any other borough as of March 2020, when New York City became an epicenter of the pandemic. Queens has the second-highest death rate from COVID-19 among the five boroughs, according to the most recent city data.

Open garden this weekend
Dear All,
After a 2 year COVID Gap, I m inviting people to visit my garden again this weekend as part of the NGS Open Garden scheme.
After all the cool wet weather, the garden is looking at its very best this week: all foliage lush and fresh. I ve a wide variety of flowering plants and ferns propagated from specimens in the garden to sell, with all proceeds from the stall going to Sunnyside Community Gardens.
