The Brooklyn Botanic Garden planted its "cherry
walk" in 1921, after World War I,
a gift from the Japanese government. There
are more than 200 cherry trees of forty-two Asian species and cultivated
varieties in the garden.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden claims a more diverse collection of Japanese flowering cherries in one place than anywhere in the world outside Japan. Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden was the first Japanese garden created in an American public garden. It was opened to the public in June 1915. The pond is filled with hundreds of Japanese koi fish, ornamental varieties of domesticated common carp.

In March and April, the Magnolia Plaza is the most fragrant
part of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Spread in front of the administration
building, it features 17 varieties of fragrant magnolia trees.


The garden is beautiful every time of the year. When it is chilly outside you can spend
time in Conservatory where you can
find Orchid Collection, Bonsai Museum,
and Desert, Tropical and Warm Temperate Pavilions.

The BBG Children's Garden is the oldest continually
operating children's garden within a botanic garden in the world. It was opened in 1914 and operates
as a community garden for children, with hundreds of children registering each
year.
Brooklyn botanic Garden is open every day, except Monday. The price is $10 for adults and children under 12 are free. Garden is closed after 6PM. You can buy a membership for one for $50 ( as I did) or $85 per family including parking passes and in summer can enjoy members-only Wednesday nights. There are also classes for kids and adults – last year I took one – it was fun!
