Self-Guided Tours

The gardens are open on a daily basis for your exploration. Occasionally, we have special self-guided tours and other self-guided activities to engage with the gardens at your own pace.

We use an interactive QR code tour program (CheQRboard) for some of our self-guided experiences. If you see a QR code in the garden, scan it with your phone and join the tour!

Visit the Bobby G. Wilder Visitor Center to learn about any self-guided experiences happening during your visit.
