Designer Friends at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden
Note: Designer Friends participants must be in a senior design or design-adjacent role, OR have a minimum of 5 yrs of experience in the UX or Product design field.
Let's hang out at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden
Peonies, lilacs, wisteria, and azaleas are in full bloom at BBG. Check out the full list of Flowers currently in bloom. Photographers, don't forget to bring your camera!
You can purchase tickets on your own at bbg.org for $22.40 or pre-purchase the tickets on this Luma page for a subsidized/discounted rate of $12.
This is a rain or shine event as the BBG is still quite beautiful in the rain. Most of the garden is outdoors and uncovered so bring an umbrella or a rain jacket if it rains.
We'll be casually moving as a group along the mapped route below. Feel free to splinter off into smaller groups or on your own and then regroup at any of the checkpoints.
We'll use Discord to coordinate regrouping points, so download the Discord app on your phone. I'll also turn on GPS tracking and share the link at the start of the event for easy tracking.
