#blackouttuesday BLACK LIVES MATTER It should go

#blackouttuesday
BLACK LIVES MATTER It should go without saying. But the recent murders of Black Americans have left an everlasting mark on our city, state, and country. Queens Botanical Garden stands in solidarity with the Black community. We also acknowledge the fear, pain, and emotional labor that Black communities endure every day. We stand with you. We must also continue to educate ourselves, hold ourselves and each other accountable, and keep discussions open and active about systemic racism. We are committed to critically examine our practices to ensure the Garden is an inclusive space for everyone. There is no turning back, only forward. We cannot perpetuate the past, only do better in the long road ahead.

Meet Eryn, QBG’s Volunteer Coordinator and one of two colleagues who occasionally report to the Garden to capture photos and footage to share with you. Pre-COVID times, Eryn managed over 250 youth volunteers who dedicated a total of over 20,000 hours in 2019! SWIPE wipe to see our favorite photo working with youth volunteers last year (we miss our volunteers!) and select shots from a recent visit to the Garden. Also, ICYMI: Eryn shared some helpful macro photography tips in a recent #qbgathome video. Check out our IGTV feed for the macro photography inspiration to put to use when we reopen! 📷 @ehatzi

Hello from Marketing Manager Anne, one of two colleagues who ocassionally stop by to take photos at the Garden to share with YOU 💚! SWIPE 👉 for some of her favorite recent shots on a sun-drenched day. She says, “The daylight casted bright halos and deep shadows throughout the Garden, creating little nooks and crannies to be discovered in new light!” .

“There’s a million things to do." These are words from Gardener Colin Kirk about work at Queens Botanical Garden during this difficult time. As reported in a recent New York Times article, Colin "can’t afford to miss any time in the garden." "In a pre-pandemic world," the article continues, "Mr. Kirk and three other full-time gardeners had 20-plus volunteers and several seasonal interns to help tend the garden’s 39 acres. Now, it’s just the four."
