which is more romantic?

Botanical Garden to choose - NY or Brooklyn ?
It is really hard to choose as both Gardens have really beautiful settings in general, as well as smaller more romantic spots.





If you like something with an Aisan theme - the Brooklyn Botanical Garden is definitely better with their Japanese Hill garden.





Also, if you go when the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom it is really wonderful.





If you are going right now, the Kiku Chrysanthemum exhibit at the NY Garden is amazing and really beautiful.





The Haupt Conservatory is also a romantic spot, and since it is indoors you can find a pretty spot all year round.





I would go to the websites for both and look at the area that says "What's in Bloom" to see if there is a particular area or flower that really appeals to you and seems more romantic ie an English garden or a Japanese garden.

Reply:why not go to both, if you have the time? they are great in their own ways.





having said that, i do prefer the BBG, which is more compact, next to the Brooklyn Museum, and easier to get to. they also publish their gardening guides that are second to none.
Reply:Brooklyn Botanical gardens is really nice, and not as crowded. I like it because its close, also I just think its a prettier park....then again, some botanist will probably tell you that the brooklyn botanical doesnt have a "weeping sand lady flower" or something, but I just think its nicer. Plus the resturants around the corner in park slope are as nice as manhattan places, just as trendy, but less expensive and less crowded.
Reply:Why not go to both, why do you have to choose one over another. I prefer the NY botanical Gardens in the Bronx
Reply:The Brooklyn Botanical Gardens are beautiful, especially in April or May (sorry... I'm not sure of the exact month, but I'm sure you can call them for info...), when the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom. Then, it is absolutely stunning. In addition, the Gardens are also adjacent to the Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park, and Grand Army Plaza.
