About Me
- Xris (Flatbush Gardener)
- Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York, United States
- I moved to New York City, to the East Village, in 1979. I started city gardening soon thereafter. I moved to Brooklyn in 1992. I now make my home and garden in Flatbush, Brooklyn (USDA Hardiness Zone 7a/6b, AHS Heat Zone 5). You can email me at xrisfg at gmail dot com.

Thanks for the slide presentation - such creative and clever costumes. Looks like the weather was nice and everyone had fun. The person in the pin striped suit was scary :-)
Good Lord, what a mob! Here in Caton Park, just blocks away, we got almost no one; guess our block is off the beaten path. My fave costume: the matching Prospect Park South brick columns with perfect planted urns on heads--wow!!
peace: We lucked out on the weather. It started raining later that night, and we had some sprinkles at the time of the promenade.
Brenda: If you want to experience the full onslaught of Halloween, come by my house. We got hundreds of visitors.
And yeah, the brick columns costumes stole the show!
