Temporary Suspension of External FOBGA Visits
As part of the due diligence checks ahead of the FOBGA merger with the Botanic Garden, planning for some Friends' activities, notably garden visits, has been paused temporarily, and will be resumed once this process is complete. We are very grateful to our Friends for their patience during this period of change.
Insight Tours at the Arboretum
Everyone is welcome to join these free tours on the first Wednesday of every month. They're a unique opportunity for Arboretum staff to share the site's latest developments, and for visitors to give their thoughts and opinions, as well as to ask questions. They run from 1.30pm to 3pm and no fee or booking is required for the Insight Tours, just turn up.
