April is Earth Month — a time to celebrate the wonders of our natural world, raise awareness about the challenges facing the planet, and support conservation efforts and climate resilience initiatives.
At Queens Botanical Garden, we’ve put together a whole month of events celebrating environmental stewardship and the beauty of our living collections. Join us throughout April for tours highlighting Queens history, Indigenous heritage and local ecology, sustainable crafting workshops, volunteer opportunities, and more.
