Growing from its humble beginnings
as an ash dump in the late 1800s, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden
has come to represent today the very best in urban gardening
and horticultural display.
Stroll around the newly renovated Japanese Hill-and-Pond
Garden and you'll find yourself transported to another world.
Continue on through the Herb Garden, Cherry Esplanade, Cranford
Rose Garden, and you might just spend the rest of the day
wandering through the plant family collection.
Speaking of which, you'll find a truly extensive indoor
plant collection inside the Steinhardt Conservatory; the
Bonsai museum, aquatic house, and desert, tropical and warm
temperate pavilions are among the attractions. |
