About this event

A private, docent led, visit to both gardens, with Suzanne Summer, Director of the Bonsai Gardens and Carole Levenson, co-president of the Botanical Gardens.

"Established more than a half-century ago, the Gardens serve as a source of great regional pride, a cultural and educational center and a place to enjoy tranquility in the heart of the city. The Gardens are poised to serve as an example of the highest standards of horticulture and historic preservation while providing enriching public programs."
