Come join us for Open Hours at Kingsland Wildflowers — learn about the green roofs and native plants while enjoying a scenic view!

Open Hours at Kingsland Wildflowers — an opportunity for the public to learn about the green roofs, the native plants present, and the Newtown Creek while enjoying the golden hour from our scenic wildflower meadows. Open hours are free and open to the public and will take place every Friday from April 24 to June 26, 2026, 5-8 PM weather-permitting.

For the 2026 Open Hours season, our Newtown Native Nursery will be open, allowing visitors to explore (and purchase) native plants that we grow on site, which can be a great addition for any greenspace you may have or be involved in!

This is a family friendly event, kindly keep in mind that we use our green roofs as an educational resource, we prefer that furry friends stay at home. NCA staff will be on hand to answer questions about the space, the ecological benefits of green roofs, and talk about our current activities around Newtown Creek! We will have drinks and light refreshments on hand for guests to enjoy.

Music and additional proggramming on select Fridays:

April 24th - 5:30 p.m. Drifter & 6:30 p.m. Joe Feldmann

May 8th - Melting Metropolis' storyteller in residence Isa Dorvillier

May 15th - Traditional Irish Filk Music

Please note that not all roofs are ADA compliant, our paths have a 34” width and can have some uneven surfaces including bluestone, small gravel, and soil. For more information about access at Kingsland Wildflowers visit our website.
