Spring is just around the corner! Come explore the Ruth Bancroft Garden with a guide to learn about the Garden’s history and be introduced to our unique plant collection. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a long-time member, this general tour will be a memorable experience and deepen your connection with the Garden.

The one-hour tour is given rain or shine. Be prepared for gravel pathways and the weather.

Weekday tours are also available for groups of eight. For larger groups, we can arrange to have multiple guides, or a private lecture. Please see the general tour/lecture page for details about a weekday booking. If you’re looking for a deep dive about the plant collection, check out the Dry Garden Botany series.
