The Brooklyn Botanical Garden is
a 52-acre oasis in the northeast corner of Prospect Park. The garden
was founded in 1910 and features more than 10,000 different plants
from around the world.
I visited on May 4, 2007 and snapped these photos. The order approximates
the self-guided walking tour pamphlet, which also provides the heading numbers.
Guided tours are offered once a day during the spring and summer.
