outdoorSeptember 13: Garden Closed for a Private Event
Sun, Sep 13 · 8:00 AM
Queens Botanical Garden · Flushing
The Garden is closed today for a private event. We’ll see you when we re-open on Tuesday, September 15.

Enjoy a free Queens Arts Fund–supported concert by The Brass Tree. Blending brass, percussion, jazz and electronics into evolving soundscapes. The Brass Tree is a collaboration between Rossen Nedelchev and composer Greg Hammontree that blends brass, percussion, and electronic sound design into evolving soundscapes. Supported by the Queens Arts Fund, the project will culminate in a free public concert at the Queens Botanical Garden on September 27, 2026. Inspired by the organic growth of a tree — each musical voice forming a branch in a living sonic canopy — the performance invites Garden visitors and the surrounding community into an open, exploratory musical experience while bringing contemporary music to a treasured public space in Flushing. RSVP Here (tickets include Garden Admission).

Join us for the closing celebration of Chloe Seibert’s Twin Urns, a 6-months long public art project culminating in a fall equinox ceremony on Sunday, September 20 at 5 pm. Since the beginning of spring, two large-scale ceramic urns have been collecting visitors’ wishes, fears, dreams and desires on slips of handmade paper made from garden waste. We end this project by lighting the urns and burning the papers inside during a participatory ritual. The ashes will then be incorporated into the Garden’s composting program, completing a cycle that links human expression, the natural world, and renewal. This project is made possible in part by the Queens Arts Fund, a re-grant program supported by New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and administered by New York Foundation for the Arts. Chloe Seibert is an artist living and working in Queens, New York. Members visit free. Non-Members $6 (includes Garden admission) RSVP Here.
