DAYS: Thursdays and Fridays in July. Gardens and schedules vary each year, so be sure to check the current year’s Open Gardens Guide.
HOURS: Vary according to the gardener’s preference. All open hours and days are listed in the Open Gardens Guide. Look for an Open Gardens sign to indicate a garden is open for visiting. If there is no sign, there is most likely an unforeseen reason for the garden to be closed. Please do not enter a garden without a sign.
