The Queens Botanical Garden began as part of the 1939 New York World’s Fair in Queens. After the fair the garden expanded to take up a larger portion of Flushing Meadows Park. When work was begun on construction of the 1964 World’s Fair the garden was moved to a site across the street from Flushing Meadows Park to a location atop the stream bed of Kissena Creek.The Queens Botanical Garden now consists of 39 acres (158000 m²) of rose bee herb and perennial gardens.
