Queens Botanical Garden Education Center Breaks Ground!

A group of people in hard hats stand in a row outdoors, holding shovels in a soil-filled wooden box, as if at a groundbreaking ceremony. Trees and a sign are visible in the background.

A huge milestone for Queens Botanical Garden! We’re proud to celebrate the groundbreaking of this future state-of-the-art Education Center — a project years in the making. The new building will be a powerful addition to Queens, fostering climate sustainability and environmental resilience for future generations. Designed to be Net-Zero ready, it’s also on track for LEED Platinum certification.

Two men in business attire and hard hats shake hands in front of a sign that reads Queens Botanical Garden Education Center, while others stand nearby in a grassy outdoor setting.

A modern, eco-friendly building with a green roof is nestled in a lush, wooded landscape. Large windows and outdoor walkways connect the structure to its natural surroundings under a bright, partly cloudy sky.
