Evening Garden Stroll

  • Tuesday, June 10, 2025 – 4:00 pm–7:30 pm

Join us for our monthly Evening Garden Stroll and enjoy extended hours, offering a weekday chance to experience the garden as dusk settles. As you wander, keep an eye out for some unusual "insects"—we're thrilled to unveil our newest collaboration: The Pollinator Project! This beautiful initiative is a joint effort between our JCRA Education Team, the Ephemeral Art Committee and many talented artists.

You'll discover colorful bees, ants, beetles, flies and bats "peeking out" throughout the garden. Artists will be on hand in the gardens from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, ready to share the inspirations behind their captivating ephemeral creations. The exhibition will continue through the rest of 2025 with more activities and fun to come.

For those eager to learn more about the gardens, join our free public walking tour at 5:30 pm departing from the Bobby G. Wilder Visitor Center.
