"Founded back in 1910 and situated in the heart of Brooklyn, the idyllic attraction - boasting over 10,000 types of plants in its collection - sits invitingly next to beautifully wooded Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Museum. Save yourself the hassle of driving to this urban oasis by taking the subway. The north entrance of the garden is conveniently just a stone's throw away from the Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum station, served by the 2 and 3 trains."
"Laid out like a veritable feast of flora, Brooklyn Botanic Garden is bursting at the green seams with lush attractions. One of the stars of its enchanting show is Cherry Esplanade. Featuring walkways flanked by cherry and red oak trees, a well-timed visit here will deliver some truly incredible photo opportunities. Typically blooming at the end of April, the double-flower 'Kanzan' cherries are a major highlight in spring."
