Cherry Blossom Season at Brooklyn Botanic Garden
April in Brooklyn belongs to the cherry blossoms, and Brooklyn Botanic Garden is where the season truly comes alive.
Each spring, more than 200 cherry trees along the Cherry Esplanade reach full bloom, typically peaking in late April in a display that draws visitors from across the city. The Garden’s CherryWatch tracker helps you time your visit perfectly, so you don’t miss the window. While you’re there, the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden offers a quieter, more contemplative counterpoint, one of the most serene spots in all of New York City.
From The Hub, Brooklyn Botanic Garden is an easy trip; the same subway lines that put Manhattan at your fingertips connect you directly to Prospect Park and the Garden. It’s the kind of Saturday that reminds you why Brooklyn is such a special place to live.
