Visit

The wait is almost over! Thank you for your patience while we do our best to accommodate everyone with our limited parking capacity during the final phases of The Garden of Tomorrow construction. Due to expected high visitation on weekends and holidays, you may experience a wait to park when visiting the Garden this spring. We are not offering advanced reservations for weekends or holidays at this time. As an NBG member, you can visit any time on any date, as long as parking is available on campus. We appreciate your patience and support during this temporary inconvenience as we work toward completing the largest expansion in the Garden’s history.

• Wheelchairs are available to borrow on a first come, first served basis at the Front Desk in our Baker Hall Visitor Center. We hold on to an ID while you have the wheelchair checked out.
• It’s also important to note that some of our pathways are permeable, packed gravel pathways. These paths can be a little tricky to navigate with wheelchairs, strollers, or wagons but it is doable. There are portions of the permeable pathway that are on a slight incline/decline including the road from the back of Baker Hall to the Rose Garden, the road from Rose Garden bridge to NATO Bridge and the road from Rose Garden Bridge to Wildflower Meadow.
