Winter wonder at BBG. ❄️
Just installed! A special floral installation in BBG’s conservatory. 💐
Created by BBG gardener Kate Murphy, these organic floating sculptures bring what bloomed last year indoors while the garden sleeps for the winter.

BBG’s Bonsai Museum is shifting to its winter display. 🌲
This striking Japanese white pine is more than 100 years old. It’s a “raft” style bonsai, mimicking a fallen tree in nature, where the limbs on one side of a horizontal trunk reach upward to form a new canopy.

Still thinking about the magical stroll through #LightScape @brooklynbotanic.bsky.social last weekend. It took 4 holiday seasons of living nearby, but we finally made it. Highly recommend to add a dash of wonder and delight to a chilly Winter's evening.
