Future Home of the Red Hook Chelsea Garden Center

What you're looking at is the future home of the Chelsea Garden Center Brooklyn on Van Brunt Street in Red Hook. The new location is slated to open on April 23 according to the Garden Center website, as noted by our friends at the nouveau retail blog Racked. Interestingly, it's the second garden center to open in Red Hook this spring, the first being the relocated headquarters of the Gowanus Nursery, which kept the name but changed neighborhoods. We're not sure if it's enough to make Red Hook Brooklyn's new Garden District, but a couple more of them and it will definitely reach critical mass.
