The Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York is a wonderful treat. The ponds are full of fish and turtles, the fountain in front of the conservatory has giant goldfish, and rabbits wander through some of the gardens. This large park exhibits numerous plant species from all over the world, almost all of which are neatly labeled with scientific and common names. There are a lot of meandering paths with maps and signposts at various points. Themed areas include a Japanese garden, a rock garden, a rose garden and a native flora garden.
