Guided Tours- Esplanade Horticulture
Event description
ABOUT THE HORTICULTURE TOUR
Through our Guided Horticulture Tours on the Esplanade, we explore a variety of gardens and plantlife that make the Esplanade so beautiful. Come learn about the history and plants that make up several of the Esplanade’s 15 ornamental gardens. Guided walking tours last about an hour-and-a-half and cover about a mile of the Esplanade.
Your suggested donation of $10 would support the Esplanade Association's work to revitalize, enhance, program and maintain the Charles River Esplanade. Thank you!
