Group Experiences

Find Inspiration Together

From group tours to self-guided exploration, the Garden’s Group Experiences Team helps ensure your next visit to the Garden will be memorable. Due to our county-directed capacity and parking limitations, working with our team to book your group’s reservations, plan your itinerary, and secure our garden resources ensures we’ll be ready to provide you with the best experience from the moment you arrive. While we currently only offer discounted admission to school groups, there are many other advantages to letting us know your group’s plan to visit.
