On Friday, May 9, 2014, participating botanical gardens, arboretums, and conservatories offer FREE admission on National Public Gardens Day.
If you are considering a science membership that comes with a reciprocal gardens membership, then this is a great opportunity to try out a garden near you.
To find a participating location, please visit the National Public Gardens Day website.
If my mom lived closer, then I would plan a visit with her to a participating garden. When we visit Florida, we spend time walking through a local botanical garden to see the beautiful flora, birds, and waterfalls.
Many of the gardens, arboretums, and conservatories present special displays and programs on National Public Gardens Day. Enjoy!
