Brooklyn Botanical Garden: Native Garden


While The Brooklyn Botanical Garden is famous for its Japanese Garden designed by Takeo Shiota and amazing Cherry Trees displays, my favorite spot is the Native Garden.

Constructed in 1911, it is designed to show the nine distinct plant communities found around New York City: serpentine rock, dry meadow, kettle pond, bog, Pine Barrens, wet meadow and stream, deciduous woodland, and coniferous forests.

Walking here is a grand tour of the New York City area.
