Garden Guides

The Garden Guides are a trained group of Friends who take members of the public for free guided walks in the three Botanic Gardens.



Guide Training

If you are interested in becoming a guide, please contact us about the training program which is offered every two years. 

Lectures and practical walks in the gardens occupy a day per week for twelve weeks, usually from March to May. Some research at home is also required, so this is a substantial commitment, but it's well worthwhile.

​

The guides hold regular meetings on the 3rd Wednesday of each month to discuss issues and plan walk programs. Guest speakers at these meetings keep our skills and knowledge up-to-date and other guide development activities are held on a regular basis.
