brooklyn botanic garden

For my second blog post, I went to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It is located right next to Prospect Park. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden has many plants from all over the world in an attempt to preserve and conserve wildlife. The garden contained many trees and plants such as cherry trees and roses. According to the signs, the cherry trees were a gift from the Japanese after World War 1. There were tons of people and bugs in the garden. Walking in the garden, I felt like I was no longer in New York City and that I entered a rural town or uninhabited place. I was surrounded by all sorts of colors and could smell all sorts of plants near me. There were plants such as the Autumn Crocus that were blooming as well as pumpkins since it is Halloween season. There were also many birds chirping and eating the plants and seeds. In the Botanic Garden there was also a library and a herbarium. The library contained at least a thousand books all on plants and trees while the herbarium probably had even more than a thousand.
