	Brooklyn Botanical Garden in The NYC Insider: an Insider's Guide to New York City
		The Overlook -- After you have walked through the Garden a bit, we suggest you spend at least a little time sitting on the benches at the overlook, which is named for its view of the Cherry Esplanade (which has magnificent cherry blossoms in the Spring) and the Rose Garden.
		Osborne Garden -- Another great place to "take a load off." Although the only area of grass you are supposed to sit on is the Cherry Esplanade, there are more than enough benches around the garden and plenty of shade.
		On the same side of the garden as the Fawcett Terrace, you can see the top of the Brooklyn Museum, the stone figures standing on its ledges, and the name "Cicero" engraved on the side.

		Differing significantly from other one-volume gardening references that focus more on techniques, plants, and illustrations (e.g., The American Horticultural Society A-Z Encyclopedia of Gardening, LJ 10/15/97), this is recommended as an optional purchase for some public and specialized libraries.?Laura E.

		All gardeners should undertake organic gardening as soon as possible (get rid of your lawn to begin with) as it makes for a better planet and you're less likely to poison yourself, but generally, Rodale's offerings are much more practical and detailed and therefore easier for the novice organic gardener to follow.
