Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Now what can I say about the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. For me the most beautiful s[pot New York City has to offer.  The facility and grounds are beautiful You see an amazing presentation of different plants in climate controlled ecosystem with great signage.

Is a great way to spend the weekend.  Time seems to slow down when you're in here taking in the beautiful views.  I went on a class trip with my granddaughter, which by the way was her first time going. It's still early in the year for many flowers to bloom but, still in all there was no one bad picture taken.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden is located near the Prospect Park Heights, Crown Heights, Flatbush and Park Slope neighborhoods.

Brooklyn Botanic Garden has 52-acres garden, includes a number of specialty "garden within garden", plant collections, and the Steinhardt Conservatory, which houses the C.V. Starr Bonsai Museum, three climate-theme plant pavilions, a white cast iron and glass aquatic plant house.
