Brooklyn Botanic Garden

Join me on a leisurely stop-and-smell-the-flowers stoll through the gardens as we admire the cherry blossoms that are in peak bloom, tulips, azaleas, and a host of other flowers. Our visit will include the three conservatories and the bonsai collection. Expect to spend about a couple of hours as we walk about a mile and a half.

Admission
TIckets are $22 for adults, and $16 for seniors. Admission is free for members of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, New York Botanical Gardens, and a few other categories listed in the garden's website. Unfortunately, Culture Pass tickets are not available until the end of next month.

The nearest subway stop is Prospect Park for the B and Q trains. If you are coming from Manhattan, get on the second or third car from the end of the train.

Meet
Meet at 12:30 at the Flatbush Avenue entrance to the garden. Show your complimentary passes if you have them or buy your tickets. Walk past the ticket windows, past the booth with the guard, the two benches on your right until you see a large map on the right. There are restrooms just past the ticket windows.

Bring
Food and beverages if you like. Food can also be purchsed at Yellow Magnolia Canteen.

Pace
Window shopping pace, but in fresh air, surrounded by greenery and flowers.
Note that this is a s..l..o..w stroll; leader sets the pace.

Registration
Particpants will be placed on the waitlist; please respond to the two questions. Those who repsond "yes, yes", will be moved to the "going" list. This is just to make sure that eveyone understands the admission policies of the garden.

I have a guest pass in case anyone is interested. If you have a guest pass and would like to share it with one of the attendees please let me know.
