In case you haven’t made it to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden yet to soak up the cherry blossoms, this video will either be a good stand-in or motivate you to get out of your barcalounger this weekend.

  1. Awww…man. That was lovely. Sort of hypnotic. And I loved the music.

    I also loved that it was so Brooklyn, put together by and music by.

    Thanks!

    Now, if only I could cure my husband’s allergies!

  2. Green-Wood Cemetery’s cherries are even better than BBG. Older, larger and quite frankly, more of them.

    Not to mention the magnolias, dogwoods and all.

    Take a stroll over to the main gates at 25th St. and 5th Ave. Either walk toward Valley Water or straight up Battle Hill.

    Fabulous.

    (though I love BBG too)

  3. Went last Saturday, they are spectacular.

    I will go again when the flowers have fallen. I love seeing the field in a blanket of pink.

    Saturday’s 10:00am – 12:00 Noon, Free Admission…can’t beat that.

  4. Saw them on Sunday – prime, and beautiful. One of my favorite spots in NY. In the cherry tree allee, you feel like you aren’t in the middle of a big city – very peaceful. I make sure I get there every spring when they are in bloom. These trees – and the whole garden – are a real Brooklyn, and NYC, treasure.
