As the end of summer nears, the sun is setting earlier and earlier each day here in the Garden. To avoid our visitors having to make their way through our 87 acres in the dark of night, we’re adjusting our extended summer hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to close one hour earlier. Our new hours for the month of September are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. with the last entry into the Garden at 6:30 p.m. 

These new hours will also affect our September dog-walking hours, which will continue on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month (September 9 and 23) from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. While those hours are shortened, we are excited to announce that our fall dog-walking hours will be the second Sunday of the month from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. These extended dog-walking hours will take place October 11 and November 8.

Also a reminder that members and non-members alike need to reserve tickets before visiting to ensure we have space available (we do sell out).

We hope to see you all at the Garden soon, and stay tuned for some VERY exciting announcements!
