As the sun sets earlier and earlier each night, we are adjusting our hours to accommodate. Starting October 1, the Garden will close at 5 p.m. However, thanks to our very successful summer extended hours, rather than going back to our standard 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Garden’s gates will continue to open at 8 a.m. for those early risers. This extra hour allows you to come into the Garden in the cooler morning weather and start your day wrapped in nature. We hope all of you continue to take advantage of it! 

And don’t forget that our dog-walking ours are moving to the second Sunday of the month! Since our gates will be opening at 8 a.m., our dog-walking hours are now 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. as well! These extended dog-walking hours will take place October 11 and November 8, which means there are only THREE more times to bring your dog to the Garden this year. Tickets are still available for our September 23 dog-walking hours from 5 to 7 p.m. and can be purchased here

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).


The Garden has remained open to serve the community by being a place to encourage wellness and health through nature and open space. Please help keep us open by considering a gift to the Garden. You can do so here.
