Join us for a special journey through the Mexican landscapes right here in the Garden, guided by our Curator of 45 years, Brian Kemble. Think of it as a passport-free adventure: together, we’ll roam dry mountain slopes, descend into hidden valleys, and discover rare, beautiful plants from Mexico—all thriving in the Garden.

Brian isn’t just your average guide; he’s spent decades exploring Mexico in person, trekking into remote regions to study plants in their native habitats. On this tour, he’ll share the stories of those expeditions: the surprising discoveries and the vital lessons learned about how these plants grow in the wild.

You’ll gain an insider’s understanding of what it takes to bring a piece of Mexico home—how to recreate the right conditions, choose suitable species, and cultivate them successfully in a garden. Whether you’re a succulent collector, a landscape designer, or simply a curious plant lover, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the dramatic beauty and ecological diversity of Mexico’s flora.
