This was one of the reasons it attracted so many people. The reason Jackson Heights exist is because people wanted a garden community. There is about 7,482 trees in this neighborhood which is a lot for a neighborhood to have. There was a guy called Thomas and he wanted to build a Garden-City-within -a-city. He wanted to make a Garden City because many of the other neighborhood and cities are filled with buildings and there isn’t much nature in those cities.
