About

Step a little deeper into the story of our gardens with a guided mini tour of either the Lost Garden or the Walled Garden, included with your standard Trails and Gardens admission ticket.

 

These relaxed, informal tours invite you to look a little closer, uncovering hidden details, seasonal highlights, and the unique character of each space. Along the way, you’ll discover the history behind the garden, the thinking behind the planting, and the subtle features you might otherwise miss.
