Brooklyn Botanical Garden

We, the whole family, started the trip to Botanical Garden through the entrance in the Empire Boulevard. The exhibit is the CHILDREN GARDEN. It has growing vegetables, flowers, and herbs and learning first head about gardening. It continued with the DISCOVERY GARDEN, where children create drawing and explore the world of plants and nature. We proceed toward the COMPOSITE FAMILY where it has colorful plants and flowers. We took lots of pictures. All beautiful flowers had bees and my younger sisters were so scared that they tried to run away. But we had lots of fun taking pictures. These beautiful flowers reminded me and my mother about our home country where we used to plants flowers. Then we walked toward the CRANFOD ROSE GARDEN. It had collections of rose plants but unfortunately it didn’t have that many roses, only the plants are there. On our way out of the rose garden, we found the NATIVE FLORA GARDEN. We entered into the world all kinds of plants including poison ivy plant. After the NATIVE FLORA GARDEN, we sat on the OSBORNE GARDEN for a while. It had a little fountain where we all dropped pennies and made wishes. Then we proceed through the HERB GARDEN into the JAPANESE HILL AND POND GARDEN. It had trees and shrubs shaped by special cloud-pruning techniques. While enjoying the view of the pond, you can come around the pond to the little house in the pond. We saw big fishes, tortoises, and ducks. My sisters fed them breads. The fragrances of the pond reminded us about the river near our home in Bangladesh. Finally we walked into the CHILDREN GARDEN because my mother wanted to see all growing plants since she used to grow them when she was in back home. She enjoyed the smell of those known plants. She was so excited that she started to tell me the names of all plants.

Finally we came out the Botanical Garden and went to Popeye’s to have lunch.
Oh what a trip it was!
