Founded in 1910, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden occupies 52 acres adjacent to Prospect Park and is known for historic landscape features such as the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden and the Cranford Rose Garden. The garden's conservatory and specialty collections have been developed over the 20th century and the institution serves as a center for plant research, conservation, and public education. It is also notable for hosting seasonal public events like cherry blossom viewings in spring.
