    Group Tour FAQs

    We offer tours all season. Spring fills quickly – contact us in fall or winter to secure dates. For a quieter experience, consider afternoon tours from mid-summer through fall. View What’s in Bloom to see what’s happening throughout the season.

    No single tour covers all 35 acres. You’re welcome to explore the rest of the garden before or after your tour.

    We don’t have a café, but picnicking is welcome in designated areas. Groups may bring lunches and store them in coolers in their vehicles or arrange for delivery through our designated caterer. Please carry out all items (we do not have trash cans onsite). Our staff can also recommend local restaurants that accommodate groups.

    Carpooling groups need parking reservations, available four weeks in advance. Bus groups do not.

    Onsite parking for large buses and motocoaches is typically unavailable. Directions for offsite parking are provided here and upon arrival. If you’re arriving in a smaller bus, limited onsite parking may be possible during off-peak times. Please contact us ahead of your visit to check availability.
