Upcoming Horticultural Events on Long Island

TOUR BUS to Brooklyn Botanic Garden & Brooklyn Museum with lunch at the Museum

Sponsored by the Bayard Cutting Arboretum Horticultural Society

This lovely tour encompasses both the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the Brooklyn Museum and includes lunch. We will arrive at the gardens for a guided walking garden tour which will last approximately 1½ hours. Then we will walk next door to the Brooklyn Museum. At the museum, we will have our Gourmet Sandwich Buffet from 12:30~1:30pm. At 2:00pm our tour entitled American Art begins. The tour will encompass works of art which focus on Brooklyn and New York. If you are interested in the history, architecture, or development of the area, this is the tour for you.

Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring extra drinks/snacks as you wish. This tour is rain or shine.

Unlike the other NYC trip we are offering, this is a tour group staying together and returning on the bus together.
