Tree Tour of Untermyer Gardens: Vista to Ruin

Join Trish Lindemann, Untermyer Gardens Conservancy's Education and Outreach Officer, on a one-hour tour of the trees starting at the Vista and continuing through the Ruin Garden.

Untermyer Gardens spans over 43 acres and features a wide variety of trees, as well as perennials and shrubs, fountains, sculptures, and more. On this tour, we will focus on the Vista, Color Gardens, Rhododendron Walk and Ruin Garden, and discuss more than twenty tree specimens. We will look at large and small trees, some mature and some newly planted.

During the tour, Trish will describe each tree, including its structure, leaf, seeds, and other unusual characteristics, as well as its historical significance and design purpose in the garden. Feel free to ask questions and learn more about the trees that you find most interesting or noteworthy. We will also take some time to appreciate their beauty! Don't miss this chance to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the stunning specimens in Untermyer Gardens.
