Inscription.
This formal garden opened in 1921 to complement the Palm House, the Garden's original conservatory. Shimmering pools of water-loving plants are bordered by hardy perennials and seasonal annuals.

The Perennial Border and the Annual Border—which features over 10,000 spring-blooming tulips and a summer theme display of annuals—are a stunning backdrop for the water-lily and sacred lotus collections. Annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in one growing season. Perennials can live for many years.

Erected by Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
