Our 1st Thursday public tours are casual walks through various areas of the 230 acre Washington Park Arboretum. Walks feature seasonal themes, collections plants, explorations of botany, and the history of our organization. Fall Color will be featured on our Arboretum tour this month. We have the 2nd largest collection of Japanese Maple cultivars in the US and many more colorful plants in our collection to share. To join the walk, meet us at the Graham Visitors Center, docents will be there to greet and gather visitors. We make every effort to tailor our tours to our audience and most months we are able to offer visitors a choice of a longer or shorter walk depending on their capabilities. If you have any specific requirements or mobility limitations we will do our best to accommodate them. UW Botanic Gardens is committed to enriching the lives of all community members with free public tours, But please note: Public tours are for individual participants not large groups.
