Closing Bell: Winter Bird Watching and Chocolate Tasting at the Botanic Garden

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is hosting a bunch of events this Sunday designed to get you moving and exploring some natural beauty, including a winter bird walk, a hot cocoa and chocolate tasting and a “chase away the winter blues” plant tour. Visitors can sample JoMart Chocolates from 11 am to 2 pm, and check out a pop-up shop by Swedish clothing and home goods brand Gudrun Sjödén between 10 am and 4:30 pm.

Besides the walking tours, there will be children’s dance classes, a Victorian toy parlor, and a “nestfest” where families can search for nests or build their own. The hour-long bird stroll begins at 10 am, and the winter plant walk, which is led by a licensed psychotherapist and BBG guide, starts at 1 pm. All the events are free with admission to the garden. Take a look at the full schedule of First Sunday activities over on the BBG website.
