Last chance: Conservancy President Stephen F. Byrns will lead his final President's Tour of the year on Saturday, October 31 at 10:00 am. The tour begins before the gardens open to the public for the day. You'll explore areas of the gardens not currently accessible to the public including the new Ornamental Vegetable Garden, the Rhododendron Walk and the Ruin Garden, learn about Samuel Untermyer, the gardens he created, his devotion to Women's Suffrage and other social good, and why he was J.P. Morgan's nemesis at dog shows. We recommend sturdy shoes for this active walking tour. Tickets are available on our website.
