Queens Botanical Garden (QBG) is an urban oasis where people, plants and cultures are celebrated through inspiring gardens, innovative educational programs and real-world applications of environmental stewardship.
QBG is located on property owned by the City of New York, and its operation is made possible in part by public funds provided through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Queens Borough President, the New York City Council, State elected officials, the New York State Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, along with corporate, foundation, and individual supporters.
History
Located at the northeast corner of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Flushing, QBG evolved from the five-acre “Gardens on Parade” exhibit showcased at the 1939-1940 New York World’s Fair. Officially opening as “The Queens Botanical Garden Society” in 1946 after local residents saved and expanded the original exhibit, the Garden remained at the original World’s Fair site until 1961, when it was moved to its current location on Main Street in Flushing. Among the original plantings taken from the 1939 site are two blue atlas cedars that frame the iconic tree gate sculpture at the Garden’s Main Street entrance today. QBG has become a 39-acre oasis in one of New York City’s most bustling and diverse neighborhoods.

I had a nice and relaxing afternoon re-learning the craft of block print making. The rest of the participants were new to the craft so we were all more or less going at the same pace. The instructor was very clear and encouraging. I recommend this workshop to anyone else looking for a fun and relaxing craft, or an excuse to get out to this part of Queens.

Interesting and fun class! Got a tour of the gardens including the areas that are off-limits to the public. Drank yummy prickly pear margaritas & got to take home a bowl of succulents I planted. Had an assortment of succulents & cacti to choose from. My only complaint is there wasn't any mention of a tour of the gardens, so I didn't have the appropriate shoes nor did I have any bug spray. So my heels didn't fare well & I was eaten by mosquitoes. Otherwise, had fun with informative, helpful, & interesting instructors!
