Queens Botanical Garden (Before 1950)

The Queens Botanical Garden locates in 43-50 Main Street, Flushing. Its 39 beautiful acres are free to the visitors. This garden is incorporated in 1946, and it fulfills the goal of providing beautiful public gardens to the people of Queens and offering horticultural information and education to amateur gardeners.

In Queens Botanical Garden, there are some major cultural and educational facility divisions, such as Demonstration Gardens, Wedding Garden, and Charles H. Perkins Memorial Rose Garden. I would like to describe the Wedding Garden and Rose Garden. As my research shows, “A three-acre Wedding Garden is a Victorian Garden featuring the style of 19th century English gardens. More than ten thousand couples have used this garden on their wedding day. The six-acre Charles H. Perkins Memorial Rose Garden is the largest rose garden in the northeast.”

I like this garden because it is a free place for the local residents to exercise every morning in Flushing. In the garden, you can breathe fresh air and learn how to plant through the program they provided in seasonal basis. “Queens Botanical Garden offers a large number of programs for School Groups, from grades pre-K and up, including outreach programs conducted by Garden instructors at school. At the Garden instructors will also work with teachers to create individual programs for advanced students and children with special needs.” So I wish the residents will enjoy the social life in Queens Botanical Garden and learn something to contribute the community.
