The tree and surrounding plants are what makes this spot so unique. To capture the vibrant color of the lush greenery, it’s best to visit this garden during spring, summer and fall months.

Field tips
To create a sense of symmetry, try centering the trees and plants in the middle of your shot. The garden will be nicely framed by the historic brownstones.
Use the buildings as leading lines to guide the enter to the center of the photograph to create a more appealing image.
The other end of the garden is also stunning — it has a three-tier fountain. Check it out after you photograph from this angle.
