The planned buildings would be accessible and partly open to visitors, with an outdoor garden replacing the old structures.

Queens Botanical Garden has secured $12 million in state capital support to replace two aging growing facilities. The total includes an extra $2 million committed at an October 30 announcement.

The new greenhouses are planned for the property’s boundary. After they are completed, the existing site would become additional outdoor space for the public. The current structures date to the 1960s.
