Brooklyn Botanic Garden in Kings County, New York — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Lily Pool Terrace
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.
Providing a stunning backdrop for the Garden's water-lily and lotus collections are the Perennial Border and Annual Border. In early spring, the Annual Border features a spectacular display of thousands of tulips before the themed summer design is planted.
Erected by Brooklyn Botanic Garden.
