Free Guided Docent Tour

Bring your family for an educational walk through the gardens with a knowledgeable volunteer guide. These free docent-led tours explore the property's history, plant collections, natural habitats, and more, giving you an insider's perspective on what makes this place special. Tours last about an hour and are recommended for children ages 5 and up. Simply show up at the Garden Pavilion lobby at the start time—no need to book ahead. Keep in mind that each tour welcomes up to 20 people, so arriving early helps ensure your spot. While the tour itself is free, non-members will need to purchase regular garden admission to participate. It's a wonderful way to deepen your family's appreciation for the gardens while learning from someone passionate about the space. Whether your kids love nature, enjoy guided exploration, or are curious learners, this is an accessible way to experience the conservancy with expert insight.
