Brooklyn Botanic Garden is an independent nonprofit institution focused on education, research, and the display of horticulture. Located on 52 acres in Brooklyn, New York, the garden houses more than 12,000 plant species and draws over 725,000 visitors annually. Founded in 1910, it serves as a public resource that combines cultivation with learning and scientific inquiry. It operates within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector, positioning itself as a cultural and educational organization centered on horticulture. The garden partners with external organizations and supports programs that connect scientific learning with public engagement, including collaborations with Cornell Cooperative Extension. In November 2025, it launched the Heidi Nitze Art x Environment Fellowship to support site-specific artistic projects that promote ecological stewardship.
