Known forgardennatureoutdoorBrooklyn
A 52-acre urban oasis featuring the famous Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, a fragrant rose garden, and the Cherry Esplanade that draws massive crowds during Sakura Matsuri each spring. The conservatory houses tropical and desert collections worth visiting year-round. Avoid cherry blossom weekends unless you book tickets well in advance — the garden sells out completely.
