Complimentary Programs

Member Talks & Tours

Member talks and tours are a great way to learn behind-the-scenes details from horticulturists, scientists, and other expert staff. To ensure all get a chance to participate, Members are asked to register for only one program per month.

  • 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.

    Designed with an artist’s eye, the Perennial Garden combines a vast palette of colors, textures, flowers, and foliage into a living work of art. The nearby Seasonal Walk features a wide array of perennials, grasses, and bulbs—each selected for their interesting shape, structure, and color in every stage of growth throughout the year.

    This event is now at capacity. Please email membership@nybg.org to be added to the waitlist. Registered guests should have received an automatic email confirmation and will be sent additional reminders the week of the event.

  • 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
