Now is the time to visit the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, if you want to walk into the essence of Spring that radiates with color and inspiration like a Henri Matisse painting.
The Grand Opening for the New Visitors Center which is the gateway to the blossoming Gardens is May 10, 2012. This is an extraordinary vision built to be environmentally sustainable by New York City architect Weiss Manfredi.
The design of the visitor center is a seamless transformation an extension of the landscape. Encapsulated into an existing berm, the center is experienced as a three dimensional continuation of the garden path system, framing a series of views into and through the garden. Sited at Washington Avenue, the visitor center wanders from the city into the garden, providing clear orientation and access to the major precincts. The visitor center includes an orientation room, information lobby, gift shop, exhibition gallery, cafe, and an elliptical events space. The design provides a roof built with over 40,000 plants a geoechange system, new vistas into the Garden will bring an overwhelming vista from many vantage points…
