Stay at Spencer Place B & B

Prospect Park is one of our favorite places in Brooklyn, and Nancye and Paul are members so we went to a special "Member's only" evening walk in the Botanic garden.  We enjoyed the rock garden and the Japanese garden.  We saw and heard  several interesting birds, including mockingbird, and in the children's Discovery Garden we saw an "eyeball" plant, which we'd never seen before--Jason punched at the blossoms trying to give them blackeyes!  Following along the stream in the garden we saw a mallard duck with just hatched baby ducks.  Nancye and Jason went thru a thicket of bamboo where they followed secret stepping stones. Jason took a 10 week class at the garden, all about seedlings (part of his home-schooling).

He described the many activities and crafts--several things he planted are now growing in the back-yard garden here on Spencer Place.
