The Joan N. and Norman Bluestone Foundation donated $8 million to the botanical garden, one of the largest gifts received by a cultural institution in Queens. “Those of us who know the Garden understand that it is a critical resource for the community,” said Evie Hantzopoulos, executive director of Queens Botanical Garden. “A gift of this magnitude not only recognizes all that the Garden offers; it also validates the direction it is taking to expand its capacity, programming, and role as a leading cultural institution in New York City.” (责任编辑:) |
