The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens


Here are some pictures of the beautiful Japanese gardens at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. We took the subway there from the city and were prepared to pay $10 each to get in, but Saturdays (and Tuesdays) are free. That was a nice surprise. We actually entered from the back entrance, and the gardens just got better as we strolled toward the front.

This is a very nice place to visit. We had our books with us and lingered a while just to read on one of the many benches overlooking the cherry grove. The day was pleasant with a slight breeze. I came home with a small purchase from the gift shop of seven packets of herb seeds. (The herb garden is really nice, too.)
