The wtb and I spent Sunday at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It was one of those paradoxical spring days where you walk over deep snow in warm sunshine. Despite the snow, it was still a great day to visit the gardens. While the plants outside were dormant, there were still four gigantic terrariums to tour without the spring and summer crowds.
Outside little markers pointed to the sleeping perennials’ like civil war grave markers…
…but inside was warm and blooming like Amanda Bynes.
Close eyes. Picture perfect tree. Open eyes. I am a giant!
The Steinhardt Conservatory has four glass pavilions, each reproducing a particular climate. The Warm Temperate (shown here) is the best smelling place I have ever been, full of lavender, sage, orange, blossoms, and hundreds of other aromatics.
Apparently, the Palm House is a popular wedding spot and we had an appointment to tour it. The wtb is very clever and very aware of the “to be.” I am aware that ignorance is bliss.
