Water in the Garden

Water has been an integral part of garden design since the first formal gardens sprang up centuries ago. The fountains, pools, ponds, streams, and waterfalls of Brooklyn Botanic Garden introduce you to the wealth of plant and animal life that live in, on, and near the water. Come delight in the special water displays at BBG.

Take a self-guided tour of BBG's water features or a special tour led by a Garden Guide on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays at 1 and 3 p.m.
