Exploring Queens Botanical Garden A Hidden Oasis in New York City

The Queens Botanical Garden (QBG) is located in Flushing, Queens, New York City. Its roots go back to 1939–1940, when it began as a “Gardens on Parade” exhibit at the 1939 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park. The exhibit showcased beautiful gardens from around the world and became so popular that after the fair ended, the community wanted to keep it alive. In 1946, the original gardens were officially established as the Queens Botanical Garden Society. Later, when New York City prepared for the 1964 World’s Fair, the garden had to move to make room for construction. It relocated to its current 39-acre site on Main Street in Flushing, where it reopened in 1961. Over time, QBG expanded into a community-focused urban garden, featuring themed areas like the Rose Garden, Herb Garden, Bee Garden, and Sustainable Garden. In 2007, it became one of the first public buildings in NYC to achieve LEED Platinum certification for environmental design, showing its commitment to sustainability. Today, the Queens Botanical Garden stands as a symbol of nature, culture, and community, representing the diversity of Queens through its plants and programs. Queens Botanical Garden has a pedestrian entrance on Main Street, on its east side, and an entrance and parking lot at Cromellin Street, on its north side. The parking lot takes up much of the northwestern corner of Queens Botanical Garden.[53] The visitor building and the gift shop and gallery are located on the north side of the Queens Botanical Garden. future Weddings, Receptions, Cocktail Hours, Proposals,Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, Birthday Parties, Engagements, Reunions, Memorials, and much more!
