The mission of the Jackson Heights Garden City Society is to advance interest in and understanding of the history and heritage of urban residential architecture, community development, Garden Cities worldwide, and the Jackson Heights Historic Area. In 2007, the Trust supported the Society’s efforts to distribute The Jackson Heights Garden City Trail, which is a user friendly guide to Jackson Heights, the nation’s first and largest planned cooperative and garden community. The Guide includes a discussion of the distinct architecture of the community, a list and description of the private parks and gardens, a summary of the unique and innovative design elements, and several annotate walking tours.
