Event Details

Food is available for purchase in the Garden Cafe.

Community Day WILL BE A RELATIVELY BUSY DAY AT THE GARDEN;

BELOW ARE IMPORTANT THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:

1. What to Bring: prepare for a warm day! Bring water bottles & sunscreen; wear comfortable shoes and clothing. Lawn chairs and blankets are allowed.
2. What Not to Bring: Please do not bring outside food into the Garden. The Garden Cafe will be open with both indoor and outdoor dining and there are vending machines in the Children’s Garden. Please also do not bring sporting equipment such as Frisbees, bicycles, etc. into the Garden; learn more guidelines for a great visit
3. Parking: Carpool if you can! Parking is limited and once lots are full, the Garden will close gates temporarily. Gates will re-open once space becomes available. We appreciate your patience; our security staff works hard to ensure everyone’s safety. If parking off-site, please be considerate of our neighbors and do not block driveways.
4. Plan Your Visit:  Here’s more info for planning your Garden visit, including accessibility. We’ll have extra Garden staff and volunteers working, so look for us — we’re here to help!
5. Activities: This is a great chance to see the exciting exhibit Women’s Work: The Lee Park Collection on display at the Lora M. Robins Library in the Kelley Education Center (KEC), as well as Flourish: 40 Years and Growing, a horticulture exhibit that consists of 4 main displays in the Central Garden, Flagler Garden, the Children’s Garden, and Grace Arents Garden. The renovated Klaus Family Tree House is open for all to enjoy. Waterway in the Children’s Garden will be open for those looking to cool off (weather permitting)! The air-conditioned Library is also available, along with a misting tent on the KEC lawn closest to the Conservatory steps. All of the Garden’s summer displays featuring summer annuals and tropicals will be in full colorful bloom.
