Group Programs
Self-Guided Garden Tours: Self-Guided Garden Tours are ideal for visitors who desire an unscripted experience at their own pace. Stop by the Information Desk in the Baker Exhibit Center lobby for property maps. Volunteers are on hand to answer questions and get you started. Free to all Arboretum visitors; usual parking fees apply. The Baker Exhibit Center is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the week.
Greenhouse and Production Facility Self-Guided Tour: Visit this working complex of facilities where plants are grown for display throughout the Arboretum. Stop by the Information Desk in the Production Greenhouse lobby to pick up a copy of "Guide to Visiting the Greenhouse and Production Facility" or download a copy of the brochure. Free to all Arboretum visitors; usual parking fees apply. Hours: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday-Friday. The Greenhouse is closed on state holidays.
We are currently developing a new schedule of guided programs for groups! For 2010, we are offering three program options -- click here for more information. If you are interested in bringing a group to the Arboretum, click here for a group program reservation form. Please note that all group programs require a per-person fee, and to complete a group tour reservation requires a $50 deposit. The deposit will be applied against the total invoice for the program, or returned if no program is booked.
