The Brooklyn Botanic Garden Cherry Blossom Festival

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pace chapter.

The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is located at 990 Washington Ave in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. This space is home to thousands of flowers, a composting center and visitor’s center to provide guests with information on the various conservatories located on the grounds.

From Saturday April 29th to Sunday April 30th, the space will celebrate the Japanese culture and the unveiling of their cherry blossoms exhibit for this season at the Sakura Matsuri festival. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is offering over 60 events including an art gallery, a Japanese tearoom as well as a “create your own illustrations” workshop conducted by well-known artists! There are also live performances throughout the day by local New Yorkers.

The weather will be beautiful this weekend, reaching temperatures of 80 degrees so get out and experience Brooklyn and be sure to capture some Instagram-able pics of the incredible cherry blossoms! Your followers will wonder how you found this hidden nature spot in the middle of the concrete jungle.

Tickets for adults are $30.00 but you can get a student discount if you bring your ID! The Brooklyn Botanic Garden is open from 10am-6pm on Sunday and Saturday. Visit the website below for more information regarding the festival.

Hey guys, my name is Cas. I am a Senior at Pace Univeristy on the NYC campus. I am currently working on a dual degree in Communications and Fine Arts. I've been working with some friends of mine to start up our own creative platform called FUNKNVIBE. It's basically a way for artists, musicians, film makers and any creative minds to collaborate and create. When I'm not volunteering or with my FNV family I'm reading, dancing or working on my latest art piece. I hope to own and design my own publication showcasing the culture around me. I have a personal blog as well as my Her Campus page. I recently started up a blog with FunknVibe so definitely check it out!  I started out as the secretary at for HCPace but moved my way to VP and CC to now President. I love being able to give students on my campus a voice and connect new students to some type of a community. Her Campus has allowed me to organize myself better and find out what goes into running an organization. It's been an absolute joy and I hope for my last year we have one of the best!
