Founded in 1910, Brooklyn Botanic Garden is one of North America's premier
public gardens. A 52-acre urban oasis situated in the heart of Brooklyn, New
York, it annually hosts more than 700,000 visitors from near and far and
inspires them to explore how plants are essential to life. Guided tours,
seasonal public programs, and discovery workshops provide interpretation and
entertainment for all ages and interests.
Along with displaying world-class collections of plants and specialty
gardens, BBG is deeply committed to education, community outreach, and
scientific research, and is a trusted source of information about
horticulture, botany, and the importance of conserving plants and protecting
the environment.
Visiting
Brooklyn Botanic Garden is located in historic brownstone Brooklyn, just a short subway ride from midtown Manhattan. Plan your next visit today!
Show off your costume, carouse with colossal puppets, make raucous rhythms, and shake your bag o' bones at Brooklyn's wackiest costume parade!
Enjoy music for families by the Revolutionary Snake Ensemble, John Carlin & the Kids Music Underground, Guy Davis, Bash the Trash, Maracatu NY, and the Von Swing Family. Plus, chat with celebrated children's book authors and illustrators, cavort with stilt walkers, feed carnivorous plants, wonder at Phydeaux's Flying Flea Circus of Fate, enjoy Thai pumpkin carving, get inked at our tattoo parlor, and create recycled junk instruments, sprout necklaces, and gorgeous gourds.
Thank you for adding me. I think your public garden is absolutely beautiful. Although I have seen numerous photographs of your gardens, it is definately on my list, "to do's".
Thank you for the beauty BBG has dispayed to all. I used to walk to BBG from Pratt Institute to draw the water lillies. I may live in California, but my heart is in Brooklyn...
Thank you so much for the add...I miss the BBG but it holds a very special place in my heart as I have visited so many times while I lived in Brooklyn. Sending love and wishing you a beautiful weekend... xo
Thanks for the add, BBG! I'm so glad you're there. I love to come watch the turtles in the pond and just walk around, forgetting for a while that I'm in the city. You're awesome!
