Of the three New York Botanical Gardens Queens Gardens - the smallest and most modest. But the cheapest and tickets, and during certain hours on Sundays and Wednesdays free entrance at all. Tourists caught up in the local area (for example, to visit the Queens Museum of Art) is pleased to a rest in this lovely place.

Queens Botanical Garden began as part of the World Expo in 1939 - it was held in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Then expanded the garden, but later, when they began to prepare the area for the exhibition of 1964, it was moved across the street from the park. There is a garden now - between Main Street, Blossom Avenue and Elder Avenue.

Probably the most famous Queens Botanical Garden, New Yorkers for "Wedding Garden". It is a fascinating space designed in the Victorian style, includes a gazebo, a wooden bridge over the creek, pergolas, flower beds, lots of cozy corners. But "Wedding Garden" is only for weddings and closed to the public, so that ordinary visitors are comforted by the other sections.

If you enter from Main Street, on the oak avenue you can walk to the herb garden, which contains aromatic, edible, medicinal and dye plants. In the spring a lot of people come to enjoy cherry blossoms. Roses in the rose garden planted in concentric circles, exude a wonderful fragrance, but it is possible to visit the special "trail of flavors", lined with flowers with a strong smell. In the forest garden trees, shrubs and flowering perennials ferns supplemented. You can also explore the marsh and wild plants in their natural habitat. All planting thought so that every season was something to see.

One of the distinctive features of the local - "bee garden", where honey plants grow and are hives with bees. A "butterfly garden" put the seat of sawn tree trunks so that visitors can watch the butterflies sitting, among them - monarchs, black swallowtails, white cabbage. In the pond goldfish swim in the grass can be seen running through the lizards.

However, to completely abandon the city noise here will fail. Noise vehicles with Main Street, but the main thing - do not give to relax flies to nearby LaGuardia Airport airplanes.
