Today's Photo of the Week is a bright flyer advertising a day-long educational program at Brooklyn Botanic Garden (BBG) with information sessions about maintaining a garden in the city. A stunning floral illustration - "Tulips" by Ukrainian-born artist Jacques Hnizdovsky - just about pops off the page, with its bold upright blooms and riot of tangled leaves all rendered in crisp linework. The verso of the flyer has more details of the day's offerings, such as "Planning and designing brownstone landscapes" by Alice R. Ireys, landscape architect for BBG's Fragrance Garden.
