Queens Botanical Garden evolved from the five-acre “Gardens on Parade” exhibit showcased at the 1939–1940 New York World’s Fair and officially opened as “The Queens Botanical Garden Society” in 1946. 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. Queens Botanical Garden describes itself as an urban oasis where people, plants, and cultures are celebrated through inspiring gardens, innovative educational programs, and real-world applications of environmental stewardship. It is a 39-acre oasis in one of New York City’s most bustling and diverse neighborhoods and is situated on the traditional land of the Matinecock people, with a living land acknowledgement and a stated commitment to educate the public about the history, significance, contributions, and impact of indigenous peoples and culture. Queens Botanical Garden’s operation is made possible in part by public funds from multiple New York City and New York State agencies and elected officials, along with corporate, foundation, and individual supporters, and Amerasia Bank sponsors the Children’s Garden.
