Children's Garden

HSBC Children’s Garden at Queens Botanical Garden is a hands-on program for children, ages 5-12, that teaches about plants, gardens, and nature while kids have fun playing in a beautiful environment.

SPRING

Each spring, children's imaginations and learning blossom as they: plant vegetables and flowers, harvest lettuce, spinach and radishes, visit the bee garden and design their own fantasy garden space, make mother's day cards with paper they've seeded with parsley and basil.

FALL

The leaves changing color doesn't signal the end of discovery at QBG. In the fall session, children learn seasonal gardening, and how to: put a garden to sleep, plant garlic bulbs, harvest tomatoes, peppers and spinach - yum! Learn about nutrition by making scrumptious food from our harvested crops, identify animals such as QBG's resident red tail hawk.
