Free Guided Docent Tour

Your family can enjoy a free guided tour led by a knowledgeable volunteer who'll share fascinating stories about the garden's history, plants, habitats, and more. The tour runs for about an hour and happens every Saturday morning throughout the warmer months. There's no need to sign up ahead of time—just show up at the Garden Pavilion lobby and you're ready to go. Keep in mind that tours are capped at 20 people, so arriving on time helps ensure your spot. This experience works well for kids ages 5 and up who are curious about nature and garden spaces. One thing to note: while the tour itself is free, non-member families will need to purchase general garden admission to participate. It's a great way to explore the grounds with expert guidance without any complicated registration process.
