This enriching bus trip combines world-class gardens\, inspiring art\, and vibrant neighborhood attractions. \nOur day begins with a tour of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG). Founded more than a century ago\, BBG is internationally celebrated for its exceptional urban horticulture and thoughtfully designed landscapes. Highlights include the serene Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden\, the charming Shakespeare Garden\, and the lush Steinhardt Conservatory.
