Additional activities that will make the Gardens come alive include a self-guided tour customized by Panayoti Kelaidis, family guides and summer watercolor activity packs for families or groups, an exciting display of carnivorous plants, a chilies-to-chocolate touch cart and a self-guided tour of our Champion Trees.
