Brooklyn Botanic Garden — Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden
What creators say
-
“the botanic garden's japanese hill-and-pond garden is where you go when you need to cry somewhere beautiful enough to make the crying feel like it means something — a quiet, designed landscape with a koi pond, a red torii gate, weeping cherry trees in april and may, and a bench-to-crying-person ratio that is genuinely generous. reviewers describe it as 'one of those places where you naturally slow down and just take everything in' and call it 'calm, immersive, and quietly magical' with 'an emotional and almost mysterious atmosphere.' admission is required ($22 adults), closed mondays — the fee is actually fine because it keeps the crowd small enough that you can be alone.”
