One thought on “BBG Free Winter Weekdays

  1. Best time ever to go to BBG: Just as snow is falling. Suddenly you realize why the stone lanterns in the Japanese garden are called “Snow Viewing Lanterns.” Then peel off coat, snort back luscious semi-tropical flower smells in tropical house, have hot dog in cafe, (hope they’ll still have it open below the Conservatory), and go home revived against bleak city winter blues! Thanks for the reminder.
