Free Guided Docent Tour

Learn about the gardens from someone who knows them well! Every Sunday afternoon, a knowledgeable volunteer docent leads a tour through the grounds, sharing insights about the garden's history, plants, habitats, and more. It's a relaxed way to explore and discover details you might miss on your own visit. Tours gather at the Garden Pavilion lobby and accommodate up to 20 people, making it an intimate experience for families and curious visitors of all ages. The best part? These tours are completely free, and you don't need to sign up in advance—just show up at the scheduled time. Kids ages 5 and up will get the most out of it. Keep in mind that if you're not a member, you'll need to pay regular garden admission to attend. It's a wonderful opportunity to deepen your appreciation for this beautiful space while getting expert guidance along the way.
