Members Only Special Events

Evenings in the Arb: July 18, August 15, & September 19 

In appreciation of your support, we are excited to invite all current Arboretum Members to enjoy the gardens in the evening on the 3rd Thursdays of July, August and September!  Bring binoculars, or a camera, walking sticks or a picnic blanket & basket of your favorite summertime foods. Or just bring yourself and enjoy the early evening calm and sunlight in the gardens.  Open and free to all current members from 5:30–7:30 p.m., please bring your membership cards. Join or renew here.

Early Bird Saturdays: year-round

We offer special sunrise hours for our members and volunteers on the third Saturday of each month. Opening time is 7 a.m. Please bring your membership card for check-in at the front gate.

Early mornings are a wonderful time in our gardens, ideal for photography, birding, and quiet enjoyment of nature. If you would like to join us, become a member today!
