The city of New York is famous for many things: the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park<\/a> and Broadway. But a lesser known jewel of this great city is one of the most beautiful and renowned botanical gardens in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Japanese

The Japanese Garden in Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, New York City<\/p><\/div>\n

The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens (BBG)<\/a> were founded in 1910 with the opening of a native flora garden, exhibiting species found within 100 miles of New York. Since then it has grown to house over 18,000 species of plant among its 15 gardens, 6 conservatories and numerous other planted areas with varying themes such as Japanese, desert, and English cottage gardens.<\/span><\/p>\n

The garden is famous for its huge collection of <\/span>Japanese cherry trees<\/span><\/a>. There are over 200 blossoming cherries of 42 different species across the gardens. The first trees were a gift from the Japanese government just after WW1. They had previously gifted cherries to Washington DC, and American interest in Japanese cherries had been gathering for the previous decade \u2013 growers had started importing Japanese cherries for sale in 1906.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Japanese

The park holds <\/span>Hanami<\/span><\/i>, a month long festival of cherry blossom, culminating in <\/span>Sakura Matsuri<\/span><\/i>, a weekend festival of Japanese culture, held when the cherries are at peak blossom in mid-late spring. This takes place on the Garden\u2019s cherry esplanade, which is lined with 93 <\/span>Prunus Kanzan<\/span><\/a> that cover the skyline with their bright pink blossom. Unlike much of the rest of the garden, visitors are encouraged to stroll and sit on the grass to enjoy the fantastic blooms. Their website even has a map, updated daily, showing how far along in bloom <\/span>every <\/span><\/i>cherry tree is!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Arguably the centrepiece of the BBG is the Hill-and-Pond garden – a Japanese garden designed in 1915 by Takeo Shiota and the first Japanese garden in the Americas. It embodies Shiota\u2019s belief that \u201ca garden, like a landscape painting, should express the essence of nature in a limited space\u201d. In true Japanese style, the garden is packed with symbolism. Three hills represent earth, heaven, and humanity, and the central pond is in the shape of the character <\/span>shin<\/span><\/i>, meaning heart\/mind. The whole garden is centred around a majestic <\/span>torii<\/span><\/i>, a gate-like structure of the Japanese religion <\/span>Shinto<\/span><\/i>, representing the transition from the everyday to the sacred.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Torii

This feeling of reverence carries itself around the garden. Winding paths reveal landscapes as corners are turned. Huge, <\/span>weeping cherry trees<\/span><\/a> droop over the pond; the tips of their branches tickling the still, koi-filled waters, while astounding <\/span>cloud-pruned <\/span>niwaki<\/span><\/i><\/a> adorn the banks. Interestingly, these stunning cloud trees do not take centre stage. Rather, they subtly decorate the wider landscape, and in true Japanese style, blend harmoniously with the undulating greenery.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Japanese

Low dome topiary<\/span><\/a> features around the pond, and <\/span>mature rhododendrons, azaleas,<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>camellias<\/span><\/a> bring yet more flowering colour, rising up from low <\/span>ornamental grasses<\/span><\/a> that cover the ground by the paths. Gnarled old cherries rise up from beds of waist-high <\/span>dwarf bamboo<\/span><\/a>. And of course, the garden is home to many species of <\/span>Japanese maple<\/span><\/a>, which provide dazzling colour from spring to autumn. 300 <\/span>tree peonies<\/span><\/a> illuminate the landscape, gifted to the gardens in 2002 from the town of Yatsuka-Cho to \u201cto bring peace of mind to people in the United States\u201d. <\/span>Mahonia<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Japanese ferns<\/span><\/a> also compliment the design. The garden is surrounded by towering pine trees that shelter it from the roar of the rest of the city, creating the tranquil escape that is synonymous with Japanese gardening.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Spectacular

Tree Peony Collection at Brooklyn Botanical Gardens<\/p><\/div>\n

Unbelievably, this exquisite example of Japanese gardening is not what the gardens are best known for. The gardens have a species named after them! Magnolia \u2018Brooklynensis\u2019 was first bred here \u2013 a cross between the acuminata (from the eastern US) and lilliflora (from China) varieties. Magnolia Plaza is a walkway within the gardens which showcases their huge <\/span>magnolia collection<\/span><\/a>, ranging from small bushes to 20m+. Plants of the Brooklynensis family are now sold the world over, including the well-known \u2018<\/span>Yellow Bird<\/span><\/a>\u2019 variety.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Flower

The gardens are home to a bonsai museum which holds around 350 bonsai plants of many species, including <\/span>pinus parviflora<\/span><\/i><\/a> . <\/span>According to BBG, some of these plants are well over a century old and a few are even in their original containers! The displays are changed seasonally \u2013 it\u2019s hard to imagine a more beautiful to the ancient art of <\/span>bonsai<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the other fascinating areas of the gardens are the Rose Garden and the Shakespeare garden. The Rose Garden contains 1,400 different roses (some surviving from their original planting in 1927) of every conceivable type. They bloom through spring and summer, covering the garden in sweet scents and lustrous colour.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u2018Shakespeare garden\u2019 features 80 plants mentioned in the works of the bard, all paired with a relevant quotation, scattered across an English cottage garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mature

The Fragrance Garden was designed in 1955, and was the first in the US to be designed for the visually impaired. It contains all manner of sweet scents and tactile textures. Visitors are encouraged to rub their hands along the leaves before making their way to the fountain, which as well as providing a calming soundscape, provides a place to wash hands after exploring the garden with touch.<\/span><\/p>\n

The gardens also run many outreach programs: a children\u2019s garden where 2-17yr olds can plant under the guidance of instructors, ecology lessons, a discovery garden geared towards learning, and an annual \u201cgreenest block in Brooklyn competition\u201d, judged by their staff.<\/span><\/p>\n
