The Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, located in Brooklyn, New York, has been helping children learn all about growing flowers, vegetables, and herbs since 1914. Kids ages 2-7 can plant their own crops in late spring and then come back to harvest them in the fall.
The Discovery Garden allows kids to touch and smell plants and experience different habitats: woodland, meadow, farm, and wetland. Kids can also dig up worms at the Nature Center. What kid doesn't like that?
The gardens are open year round. Admission for adults is $10.00. Children under 12 are admitted free.

DeleteHello human, Sherry,
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful to get the children involved at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. That looks like another great place for me to go sniff around. Um, probably not...
Pawsitive wishes,

I'm sure you'd love to sniff around there, but you might have some trouble convincing the humans to let you in!
DeleteHow nice. Brooklyn is its own little world. Next time I visit NYC I need to venture out of the theater district and explore Brooklyn. neat!
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice place to see if you ever visit Brooklyn.
DeleteEvery town should have one. It's a great endeavor. It looks so tranquil too - a nice addition to Brooklyn.
