I had a wonderful time at the @queensbotanicl Garden’s annual Rose Gala! During the annual event to support the work of QBG, we also honored advisory board member Howard Frelich and the life of Yanny “Mama” Lie, a longtime advocate of QBG and member of the garden’s Tai Chi group.

This week, we joined forces with our neighboring cultural institutions in launching a new initiative called “A Park for All Seasons.”

We are so proud to be part of this collaborative effort with @QueensTheatre, @QueensMuseum, @queensbotanicl, and @thequeenszoo.

August is for #ironweed (Vernona noverboracensis). This New York native blooms from July through September with its peak in August. Found in our woodland garden, ironweed is a favorite for QBG butterflies.

Thanks to @NYCParks, @USDA, @nysci, and @QPLNYC for joining us last week for a Networking Workshop with our summer interns.

Speakers inspired the next generation of stewards, scientists, and public officials in NYC, NY, and beyond.

QBG's #compost operation is over 30 yrs old.💚🌍

Each year, we collect food scraps from sites throughout Queens and process it into nutrient-rich compost which is distributed for free to local communities and throughout our 39 acres of green space.

That’s a wrap! Thanks to all who attended Taiwan: A World of Orchids this weekend. For QBG’s 12th annual event, we celebrated Taiwanese culture with elegant floral beauties, workshops, specialty food tastings, and sunshine.

Thanks especially to our event co-host Taiwan Gardens.
