Why you should visit it
Boasting a Japanese hill-and-pond garden, a native flora garden, and an herb garden to boot, it is easy to spend hours meandering through the hidden paths and secret gardens of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. And altough it is beautiful year-round, the most hypnotic time to visit is during Cherry Blossom season in the spring.
