🌸Brooklyn Botanic Garden 04/26/19🌸 April 29, 2019

Group left NYEA shortly after 10 a.m. and headed to the 2/3 line on Wall St. via Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. Upon arriving, we decided to wait for the rest of the group. It turned out that the main entrance was closed, so we met at the parking lot entrance just around the block.

After entering the garden, we were amazed by how many cherry blossoms there were in full bloom, not to mention how crowded it was! We then headed towards the Conservatory, where there was a bonsai tree exhibition, artwork on the roots of plants and trees on the walls, as well as an aquatic room, tropical, rain forest and desert zones.

When we left, it started to rain pretty heavily. Despite this, we used our umbrellas and strolled towards the Japanese Garden seeking shelter in the pagoda. We then circled around the large pond once the rain let up somewhat and then walked back towards the gift shop where we all shared our amazing photos.
