First Fridays Garden Tours

Join the Holden Arboretum staff for a leisurely guided tour of the grounds on select Friday mornings this season. These walks offer a chance to explore the gardens beyond what you'd discover on your own, with knowledgeable staff members sharing insights about what's blooming and growing. In August, the focus is on the Butterfly Garden—a great draw for families curious about pollinators and seasonal plantings. Tickets are $7 for members and $22 for nonmembers. Tours run from August through early September on select dates, so check the registration page to find which Fridays work best for your schedule. It's a relaxed way to spend a morning outdoors and connect with nature while learning something new.
