Where do you find spring blossoms in Brooklyn?
Each spring, New Yorkers flock to the hottest spots around Manhattan and Brooklyn to find the spring blossoms. Whether it’s for a photo op or to connect to nature, the cherry blossoms in Brooklyn tend to attract people by the thousands each season. But where are the best spots to find spring blossoms in Brooklyn? Take a look at a list of our favorites below.
Every year, the Brooklyn Botanical Garden holds its annual Sakura Festival to celebrate the blooming trees. This festival is when the Brooklyn blossoms are at their absolute peak. The Brooklyn Botanical Garden watches and keeps track of their cherry blossoms on a map. You can keep your eyes out this spring for its festival dates. Be warned, though: this time of year is absolutely hectic at the BBG.
Grand Army Plaza
Grand Army Plaza is the perfect spot to see blossoms in the spring if you’re avoiding the BBG crowds. There are a few gorgeous trees right at the top of the plaza that are low-hanging and beautiful in their peak blossom. Plus, the Farmer’s Market is open on Saturdays, which makes for a great date.
The Brooklyn Museum is a great place to start for beautiful spring blossoms in Brooklyn. Outside of the museum you can find rows of beautiful blossoms. The surrounding area is also bursting with blooms in the springtime. Plus, it’s a hop skip and a jump away from some other beautiful spots for Brooklyn spring blossoms.
A bit more of a macabre date idea: the blossoms at Green-Wood Cemetery. This historic cemetery in Brooklyn hosts beautiful blossoms every spring season. With a 478-acre property, Green-Wood Cemetery is a gorgeous spot to spend a day in the spring taking in this historic Brooklyn landmark.
Respect the natural environment
No matter what natural environment you are taking photos in, make sure you are respectful of the earth. We strive to leave everything as we found it when it comes to shooting in the outdoors. So many natural environments are seeing the impact of people taking the perfect shot at all costs. We want to get the perfect shot while leaving the environment as untouched as possible.
