I joined @queensbotanicl Garden today to announce this weekend’s 13th annual “World of Orchids” event. For two days you can see a variety of amazing orchids – including some rare species – and celebrate the culture and traditions of Taiwan. Most orchids go on sale Sunday at 5 PM!

If you plan to attend ‘World of Orchids’ at @queensbotanicl Garden this weekend, be sure to get some Thai Rolling Ice Cream from Ice Queens. The fresh strawberry was delicious! If you can’t make it to QBG, you can always visit them at their location in Queens Crossing.

ALT quote from Regina Forlenza: My love of flowers and horticulture really brought me to the botanical garden. I now work in a living museum, but never in my life did I think I would be thinking about mathematics in my career.

These two fledgling hawks have become my favorite story unfolding at the Queens Botanical Garden @queensbotanicl.
They're in that peculiar season where they know they're meant to fly, but nature still asks them to wait while the last flight feathers come in.
So they practice. They hop. They flap. They make short flights. They fail. They try again.
Watching them has been a nice reminder that learning @solana feels much the same.
Before anyone soars, they spend a while looking exactly like this.

Yesterday I attended the @queensbotanicl's design presentation for their kids discovery garden, funded in part by a grant secured by my predecessor Michael Simanowitz. It was a special moment & also served as a send off for our district director & Michael's son, Josh. Josh joined our team when I first came into office and he consistently operated with the mindset of helping those in need. While he's still going to be available to help the community, he will be sorely missed at our office & we wish him well on his next chapter!

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.
