About this Event
Join us for a morning walk through Highland Park as summer begins its transition toward fall. This guided tour explores the park’s remarkable landscape, history, and the enduring vision of Frederick Law Olmsted.
Along the way, we’ll explore Highland Park’s thoughtful design and highlight notable trees, landscape features, and some of the historic “legacy” and specimen plants that make the park such a remarkable place.
