the bee garden is happy even if you're not a bee.
hello, hello! although we've lived in queens for many years, i'm sorry to say we've just visited the queens botanical garden for the first time, recently. it's a lovely garden embracing sustainability in landscape and building design through its LEED platinum program, which is helping the organization make a name for itself.
the new administration building and green roof are wonderful examples of sustainable design and include bioswales used to collect storm water.
i love structure in the garden and the copper rose trellis's are wonderful.
there are so many different 'rooms' within the garden and an emphasis on water. i didn't capture some of the water features very well and will have to go back.
this structure in the fragrance garden is the coolest one i've seen.
a few more trellis's.

Hi Cindy, I had no idea Queens had a Botanical Garden, thank you for introducing it to me, it looks lovely and relaxing. And thank you for your encouraging words about the NY Gift Fair. I am looking forward to it!
this looks so beautiful! i have a list as long as my arm of the various gardens and whatnot that i need to visit here in toronto.

very lovely. pretty gardens are treasures. :)
shame on me too! I am a native Queens girl and I don't think I've ever been. Your photos make me want to ruse right out. xo
