The queer garden at the Alice Austen House Museum was created to ensure LGBTQ youth have a safe space to be among their peers and learn about gardening.
Against the backdrop of the Pride flag over the Hudson River sits a garden that is proudly blooming.
Maroon-striped flowers, juicy red strawberries, fungi, and even mugwort makes up the brand-new queer garden now on display behind the Alice Austen House Museum on Staten Island. Alice Austen was a photographer who identified as a lesbian. Her escape and true love was gardening. It’s how she found acceptance.
"We really take the lead from Alice. The inspiration from her work and lifestyle and all the wonderful activities she was involved with. She was really quite a rebel who broke boundaries for Victorian women," said Victoria Munroe, the Executive Director of Alice Austen House.
