Topics may vary depending on the guide, though each tour will last 40 – 50 minutes, cover terrain throughout the Garden, and draw from our mission to celebrate, cultivate, and conserve the rich botanical heritage and biodiversity of our region.
Led by various Garden staff and trained docent volunteers, tours September through December will take place every Friday, and Saturday and Community Day starting at 11:00 a.m. No registration is required, and there is no charge beyond admission to the Garden.

In addition to providing these regularly scheduled offerings, we may also be able to serve private groups of 10 or more if they contact us at least two weeks ahead of time.
