Last week I went to visit my daughter and part-time blogging partner, Andrea in New York City. On my list of places to visit was the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens which are only a few blocks from Andrea's new digs in Brooklyn. I had tried to visit there another time but found out like the museums, the gardens were closed on Mondays. So this time we headed out on Sunday and the weather was just beautiful, high 60's, sunny and for a change no rain. I always seem to visit when they have monsoon style rain storms, so this was delightful!
The cherry trees were all in bloom and were glorious.
Lots of people were out enjoying the day.
During Hurricane Sandy the Botanical Gardens lost over 100 mature and speciality trees. They are in the process of removing the downed trees.
They are repurposing some of the trees and built a tree house that you could walk thru.
The tulips were in full bloom too, beautiful groupings.
They also had Japanese style gardens and ponds.
The little fishes all swimming together.
My only disappointment is I won't be there to see their extensive rose gardens bloom!
