We will kick off the event with guided tours and a free seedling giveaway in honor of National Public Gardens Day. Reiman Gardens is proud to join public gardens across the country to celebrate National Public Gardens Day annually on the Friday before Mother's Day. The day allows us the opportunity to raise awareness of America's public gardens and their important role in promoting environmental stewardship and awareness, plant and water conservation, and education in communities nationwide.
Complimentary guided tours will take place at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. Each visitor will also be invited to take a free seedling to take home.
In honor of National Public Gardens Day, each member garden who charges admission will participate in the Better Homes & Gardens free admission program.
