March is the beginning of extended hours at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, a place I visit at least a couple of times a year. And if you’re around in April, there’s no better time than than Sakura Matsuri - the BBG’s annual Cherry Blossom festival showcasing Japanese culture and several events. (Here’s hoping we get the festival back this year 🤞🏼)

The gardens the perfect way to get lost in nature without leaving the city. This 52-acre garden is open all year round, as the greenhouses allow tropical vegetation and arid desert cacti to thrive in the New York climate.
