An Introduction to Highland Park: a Botanical Oasis in the City!

  • Meet at Gate House 2 450 Reservoir Avenue Rochester, NY 14620 (map)

Join us for an early evening walk through the blooming beauty and inspired vision of Frederick Law Olmsted’s Highland Park. As spring reaches its peak, this guided tour will offer a stunning look at the park’s trees, shrubs, and gardens in full seasonal color. We’ll explore Highland Park’s rich history, thoughtful design, and the landscape elements that make it a living work of art. Learn how Olmsted’s background influenced his visionary layout and purpose for this public space. Along the way, we’ll highlight some of the park’s unique and historic “legacy” and specimen plants that help make Highland Park such a beloved and remarkable place. Your tour guide, Ron, is both an HPC Docent and Garden Steward. Eventbrite registration opens April 10. (Image courtesy of daytrippingroc.com)
