When visiting Citi Field, the Mets’ home ballpark in Flushing, Queens, it might well be worth your while — as often, in life — to stop and smell the flowers.
Unbeknownst to many fans, a new garden has been flourishing for quite a while now in “Mets Plaza.” Many folks, in their happy rush to get to the game, walk right by what can be viewed as a nearly magical enclave, located just inside the Roosevelt Avenue gate and before the Shea Stadium “Home Run Apple.”
While the new flora is a surprise to many, one could suggest that to some degree it is carrying on a tradition.
