Our Garden Walks are back! We have had so much fun doing these and such a good response that they have become a permanent addition to our calendar from late spring through early fall. Each walk will cover a different area of the Garden and be led by different staff members. Meet in the Courtyard at 5:00 pm to begin the walk. 

Our first walk will cover the various groves and tree collections of the Garden. We will see the Banyan Grove, Conifer Collection, Magnolia Collection, and the Redwood Grove. A refreshment stop will be included halfway through the walk. Dress accordingly for the weather and bring along water and binoculars if you wish.

‘Sol’ + ‘stice’ derives from a combination of Latin words meaning ‘sun’ + ‘to stand still’. As the days lengthen, the sun rises higher and higher until it seems to stand still in the sky. Join us for this after-hours walk celebrating the beauty of the Garden in the magical midsummer light. We will also be observing insect pollinators. A refreshment stop will be included halfway through the walk. Dress accordingly for the weather and bring along water and binoculars if you wish.
