From the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Mission Statement:
The mission of Brooklyn Botanic Garden is to serve all the people in its community and throughout the world by:
Displaying plants and practicing the high art of horticulture to provide a beautiful and hospitable setting for the delight and inspiration of the public.
Engaging in research in plant sciences to expand human knowledge of plants, and disseminating the results to science professionals and the general public.
Teaching children and adults about plants at a popular level, as well as making available instruction in the exacting skills required to grow plants and make beautiful gardens.
Reaching out to help the people of all our diverse urban neighborhoods to enhance the quality of their surroundings and their daily lives through the cultivation and enjoyment of plants.
Seeking actively to arouse public awareness of the fragility of our natural environment, both local and global, and providing information about ways to conserve and protect it.


I love my Botanic Garden. When the weather is nice Hubby and I take our after dinner strolls in the garden. It is one of Hubby's favorite places to take pictures. I follow the blog to keep up with the events and news, but mostly, I want to see their gorgeous pictures.

Hubby has enough pictures of this waterfall to make his own calendar.
