Free Guided Docent Tour

Your family can explore the gardens with expert insight during this free guided tour led by a knowledgeable volunteer docent. You'll learn about the property's history, local habitats, plants, and garden design as you stroll through the grounds together. The tour accommodates up to 20 people and works best for children ages 5 and up, making it a great way to combine outdoor time with some gentle education. Simply show up at the Garden Pavilion lobby at the scheduled time—no advance sign-up required. Keep in mind that while the tour itself is free, non-members will need to pay regular garden admission to participate. It's a relaxed, accessible way to deepen your family's appreciation for the landscape and natural world around you.
