Brooklyn Botanic Garden spans 52 acres of specialty gardens featuring more than 12,000 species and cultivars of plants from around the world. It occupies part of the unceded territory of the Munsee Lenape people, who stewarded this land before genocide and forced migration pushed the Lenape west and north to rebuild their nations in what are now Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario, and the Lenape's connection to their ancestral land endures. Founded in 1910, Brooklyn Botanic Garden continues its mission to connect people to the world of plants, fostering delight and curiosity while inspiring appreciation and stewardship of the environment.
