A building at Brooklyn Botanic Garden

• ... that the Cranford Rose Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden was cited as having 1,200 varieties of roses? Source: Berenson, Richard J.; DeMause, Neil (2001). The Complete Illustrated Guidebook to Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Silver Lining Books. p. 118
  • ALT1: ... that the children's garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden is the oldest in the U.S.? Source: Berenson & DeMause 2001, p. 155.
  • ALT2: ... that Brooklyn Botanic Garden was planned as "an animated textbook in botany"? Source: "New Botanical Garden: Dr. Gager Outlines Broad Plan to Extend Educational Side". New-York Tribune. August 28, 1910. p. B3.
  • ALT3: ... that Brooklyn Botanic Garden was built on the site of an ash dump? Source: "Brooklyn Botanic Garden Arose From Dumping Spot". The Chat. May 7, 1921. p. 96. I don't prefer this hook because it's very similar to the hook for Template:Did you know nominations/Queens Botanical Garden, which ran a few years ago, but if a reviewer thinks it's interesting, I have no issue with it.

  • Comment: I will come up with more hook suggestions later. Credit to Sawyer-mcdonell for suggesting the first hook.

Improved to Good Article status by Epicgenius (talk). Self-nominated at 17:20, 4 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Brooklyn Botanic Garden; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Let's see here. Article checks out in terms of presentability and qualification.(Was promoted to Good Article 2 days before the nom) Earwig doesn't return anything notable, and I can't find any image licensing issue. I like the first hook best; I'm assuming good faith on the source, since I don't have access to it, but it's definitely interesting. Everything checks out here.
