Tour with Bower Bird Display
Horticulturist Dorthe Hviid and Education Director Elisabeth Cary stop to discuss artist Jon Piasecki's Bower Bird installation during a
tour-guide training session at the Garden.

OK. . .You've been to the Garden. . .   

 

but have you ever taken a guided tour to explore seasonal highlights and learn the back story behind  some of your favorite display areas? 

Each year, we train our volunteer tour guides to provide visitors with a rich and enjoyable view of the Garden. Each guide brings their own individual flair and verve to the tour - but all are dedicated to our mission: to provide education and inspiration concerning the art and science of gardening.

Come tour the Garden!  Starting next week, guided tours will be available Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 10am and are free with the cost of admission (members are always free!).  Meet at the Garden Shop and enjoy your journey through the Garden.  Bring a friend!
