Come connect with friends\, music lovers\, and nature to lift your spirits and the spirits of others. Help us collect food and donations to make a difference so that Queens families in need won’t be left behind. \nBenham has been a part of the Astoria Food Pantry since its start at the beginning of the pandemic and has not stopped working since! What started as a way to help neighbors in a time of crisis has become an ongoing mission to serve the community as additional challenges make food insecurity an ongoing issue for so many. \nWFUV host Alisa Ali will host a live music performance by Lily Mao in the garden’s Helen M. Marshall Auditorium. A vibrant singer\, songwriter\, and musician\, Mao has been a featured artist on “NY Slice\,” WFUV’s weekday feature that puts the spotlight on local artists. \nAttendees are also invited to join Queens Botanical Garden staff for guided tours\, tea making with ingredients from the QBG farm\, botanically inspired musical instrument crafts\, basil planting\, and storytime for kids. You’ll enjoy activities\, giveaways\, and music that make our world a better place. Plus\, get a chance to win a pair of tickets for a live concert this summer at Forest Hills Stadium. \nFood and beverages will be available for purchase on site.
