I had a wonderful time at the @queensbotanicl Garden’s annual Rose Gala! During the annual event to support the work of QBG, we also honored advisory board member Howard Frelich and the life of Yanny “Mama” Lie, a longtime advocate of QBG and member of the garden’s Tai Chi group.

TODAY! Don’t trash your pumpkin, smash it! Bring your pumpkin, jack-o-lantern, and gourds to the @queensbotanicl Garden and turn them into compost the garden will use to fertilize its plants.

August is for #ironweed (Vernona noverboracensis). This New York native blooms from July through September with its peak in August. Found in our woodland garden, ironweed is a favorite for QBG butterflies. Photo by Jess Brey.
