Botany Walk & Talk
Join Dr. Mark Miller, Education & Exhibits Director, and Doug Oster, from Gardening with Doug, for a walk through our gardens and woodlands to view and learn about various fascinating parts of the Garden. Walk & Talks begin with an introductory educational session, after which the class departs from the Welcome Center to explore the Garden. This walking tour portion will be followed by a plant-based lunch to conclude the program.
Each Walk & Talk has a unique focus around which the information will be structured. For details about upcoming topics and times, please view the calendar below.
Program fee includes lunch and all-day admission to the Garden.
