Review & FAQ:

Queens Botanical Garden is a 39-acre public botanical garden in Queens' Flushing neighborhood, originally established for the 1939 New York World's Fair and moved across the street from Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in the early 1960s.

The gardens are open to the public for free between November and March, with free admission offered during select hours on Wednesdays and Sundays throughout the rest of the year, with the exception of special event times. Rose, herb, bee, and perennial flower gardens are showcased at the gardens, along with an arboretum and a public art gallery. A Farm and Compost Site is also highlighted, showing visitors how to create compost for healthier soil and waste disposal.
