May is definitely the month to see the gorgeous 100 year old gardens. The endless rose gardens will knock your socks off, but for peace and tranquility make sure to leave time for the exceptionally beautiful Japanese garden retreat. Along the way, take in the extensive, broadly-interpreted herb garden (herb as any useful plant, including vegetables, medicinal, culinary, fragrance, household,...

Not as large as the NT botanical garden in the Bronx but much more accessible. Free sat before noon make it a great way to start the weekend. Lots of kids activities, hard to believe your in Brooklyn

Just back from our friends' son and his beautiful bride's wedding... here at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens! Such a beautiful setting. Ceremony in the gardens at 7PM, gorgeous! Just beautiful! Cocktail hour was outside the arboretum, and the food was great. Little baby lamb chops, tiny crab cakes, baked clams, delicious chunks of fresh tuna on skewers plus lots of...

The Japanese Garden was impressive. Very well done and picturesque.
Large expanse of greens and flowers for kids to 'ooh & ahh' over.
The ticketed Sakura Matsuri event was a dissapointment though, as the sakuras were post bloom and many had fell off, leaving bare trees to be 'admired' upon.

It's an oasis of nature in the middle of Brooklyn. My wife and I love visiting the Japanese garden and the rose field. Cherry Blossom season is also beautiful. I wish it were free, but alas, it is New York and few things are free. It is nice that it's right by Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park and the Brooklyn...

A beautiful serene pace. The Japanese garden was lovely and the rose garden promised much when it is in full bloom. A great cure for jetlag.

A business meeting ended early one day, and I decided to venture to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens at Prospect Park. While I wish they had lockers available (lugging my laptop and work around all day was a bit more cumbersome than I'd bargained for), I found the gardens to be spectacular.
The bluebells are currently in bloom, and are a...

what an amazing and beautiful place. There's so much to see and this is the perfect place for a nice relaxed stroll.
The flowers and plants are all gorgeous.
One thing I wouldn't bother with is the cafe - we ordered burgers and they were horrible, so much so we couldn't eat them.
