May 1-9th is wildflower week in NYC. Click here to see over 45 events taking place in all 5 boroughs. There will be botanical walks, lectures, planting natives, cooking natives (that sounds funny), etc. It looks like a fun and interesting week, which ends with Mother’s day. For the past 3-4 years we’ve gone to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens on Mother’s Day. One of my favorite gardens there is the native garden. It’s kind of hidden, which makes it much less crowded. It’s a quiet, hidden spot within the garden. I recommend it over some of the showier gardens.
