Once upon a time, the borough was a humble farmland. It transformed into residential property following the American Revolutionary War and became a city in 1834. In 1898, Brooklyn officially became a part of New York City. (Information taken from Tripmemos.com)

Brooklyn has many green spaces, providing a respite from the city's urban sprawl of concrete, brick, and steel. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden was founded in 1910 and sits atop the land of the Lenape, New York's original indigenous inhabitants. As an oasis for the surrounding community and visitors, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden offers programs for children, urban gardening, and other educational opportunities. The garden is steps away from Prospect Park and consists of 52 acres. Have you ever participated in any of the programs at a Botanic Garden?
