These tours, led by Arboretum specialists, are offered only a couple days a month, at 8:00 p.m., when the moon is full.

But reserve your walk quickly, as the limited slots fill very quickly.

Two of each three April and May hikes are sold out, but all three days in June are available (as of the time of this writing).  Check the Arboretum’s online schedule for current availability of walks scheduled at other times or for other botanical events.
