Brooklyn Botanical Garden – Brooklyn, NY

On Tuesday morning, I hit the Brooklyn Botanical Garden.   I was all excited because I was going to be able to use my Reciprocal membership from our Botanical Garden, and it turns out it’s free on Tuesday anyway.

The coolest thing in bloom at the moment was the water lily collection.   That happened to be near the glass houses, which had some really neat tropical plants, as well as a nice bonsai collection.

The whole thing is a really lovely park to walk through, though I’d love to go in the Spring – there’s a cherry esplanade that must be gorgeous when it’s in full bloom.
