Join us for an early evening walk through the beauty and inspired vision of Frederick Law Olmsted’s Highland Park. This guided tour will offer a stunning look at the park’s trees, shrubs, and gardens in their 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.
