Off to Brooklyn, NY to visit the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens- driving there was easy and great parking available. Huge- wear your hiking shoes, because that's what the day involves.(lots of walking) I brought my camera, notebook and a water bottle. The weather was great- brought a sun hat and it was needed! The facilities are amazing. I didnt know what to expect, even though I did do some planning online beforehand. Wonderful, delicious! cafe- so I would recommend just eating there. My plan was to concentrate on the native plant section- which was across from the entrance- a hike to get there, but then I did see the other sections enroute. This year the native garden is 100 years old! I understand that the BBG had a specific journal that concentrated on dye plants, but over the years it was abandoned. I am hoping to find a few of these journals floating around.

| Stick sculpture- like pod moduals that you can walk into and through |
There is a good reference library located in one of the many buildings. Don't miss the Patrick Dougherty stick sculpture- created in Aug 2010 for the 100 year celebration of the gardens. He has made over 200 of these types all over the world.
