The public can tour the gardens at the Union Bay Gardens, the grounds of the Washington Park Arboretum and the Union Bay Natural Area year round during daylight hours. We offer classes in a wide range of topics relating to horticulture such as using compost in the landscape, turf management, drip irrigation, culinary herbs, basic pruning and much more. Lectures, studios, symposia and a variety of regional tours are also offered. UWBG also conducts a variety of youth and family programs and community outreach activities, primarily at the Arboretum. These include specialized on-site tours, school group programs, explorer packs and special events.
