In April, I visited the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. It is a less than ten-minute walk from our home and the walk is well worth it. You can also take the 2,3 trains one stop to Eastern Parkway-Brooklyn Museum which is just steps away from the entrance to the Garden. The plants were amazing. They were so many different astounding colors and several animals as well. I highly recommend the Plant Shop for its wide selection of seeds as well the herb gardens and small pots it carries. Don’t get stuck in your camera (as I did) because it ruins the expierence.
Here are some of the pictures I took(click to enlarge and see a description):
