First Saturday Drop-In Botanical Garden Tour

Explore our living museum featuring collections of plants from around the globe! Join a Garden Educator for a free guided tour of the garden on the first Saturday of the month at 10am. We’ll hear the stories of a selection of plants in the garden, and their relevance to human society. All ages are welcome. We will meet at the La Kretz Garden Pavilion at the northern end of the garden. Restrooms are available there. Plan on arriving a few minutes early as the tour will leave on time at 10am.
