Queens Botanical Garden: Free and Beautiful in Flushing

The Queens Botanical Garden is an oasis, secluded just blocks from the hurly burly of Flushing Main Street, and its 39 beautiful acres are free to visitors.

Wow, it's the perfect time of year to visit the Queens Botanical Gardens. The flowering trees and tulips are out, but they won't last until June. This weekend should be prime strolling time under the blossoms.
