Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden

Brooklyn

The first Japanese garden built in an American botanic garden, this 1915 masterpiece wraps a koi-filled pond around sculpted hills, arched wooden bridges, and a vermilion torii gate that seems to float on water. Wander the winding paths and let the city fade behind stone lanterns and waterfalls.
