Old Westbury Gardens:
Here are some photos from our Landscape Design field trip to Old Westbury Gardens in LI. I recommend visiting the garden if anyone is looking for a nice day trip, date :-), or just a great garden to go visit and enjoy. Admission: $10 -----> http://www.oldwestburygardens.org/

* They have a small canteen like cafe. The yummy home made lemonade and ice teas are thankfully cheap. :-) http://www.naftalistern.com/

I also recommend taking a trip to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens http://www.bbg.org/, this is a great mid day trip, lots of shade and quite a large garden. There is a small outdoor cafe, although food is prohibited anywhere else in the gardens. If you pay a visit to the Botanical make sure to take a camera and If you are going with a friend, your kids, or spouse etc. I would strongly recommend dressing up since the gardens are a wonderful backdrop for fun photos or portraits. Admission: Adults- $8 Students- $4

You can also visit the Brooklyn Museum next door www.brooklynmuseum.org/

Admission: Adults- $8 Students- $4

For more interesting places to see and visit in this immediate area please keep posted. I will post a list of places to see, along with a schedule so you can plan a day trip to this part of wonderful Brooklyn.
