Autumn Flowers is a guided outdoor walking tour led by a professional horticulturist to help residents select and care for fall plants in their home gardens. This free session meets at the park guest services desk and is best suited for parents who can push a stroller or older children who enjoy nature walks. It is a smart weekday outing because you get expert gardening advice to improve your own curb appeal while the kids get some outdoor time before the afternoon rush.
