Highland Park Evening Tour: a Botanical Oasis in the City!

  • Gatehouse 2 450 Reservoir Avenue Rochester, NY, 14620 United States (map)

Join us for an early evening walk through the blooming beauty and inspired vision of Frederick Law Olmsted’s Highland Park.
As spring winds down and summer starts, join this guided walking tour; offering a look at the park’s trees, shrubs, and gardens in their peak season. 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.
