Join me Saturday as I give one hour guided tours of some of the many spring highlights at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. The tours are included at no additional cost after the cost of garden admission and there is no tipping anywhere in the garden. The 12:30 tour will highlight the Native Plant Garden and the 2:30 tour will highlight the Ladies' Border and the Perennial Gardens. And don't be afraid of a little rain, I give my tours even with drizzle! Plus you can spend at least two hours indoors at the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit since her paintings are inside the library and the Hawaiian garden is inside the glass conservatory.

Weigela japonica 'Dart's Colourdream' Common name: Japanese weigela

I didn't realize that you were actually inviting us to come along with you on your tour of Spring Highlights at the NYBG.

Could you maybe post a list of some upcoming tours you will be giving, and the topics you will cover?

Many thanks,
Rex
