Calling all families, nature enthusiasts, and amateur astronomers! Come gather on the Garden’s lawns to marvel at the sky as the moon passes between the Earth and sun.
Join us in observing the effects of the eclipse on our collections. Will blooms be fooled into closing? Will leaves turn in? Participate in our Garden-wide experiment and let us know what you see. The eclipse will last from 2:10 to 4:36 p.m., peaking at 3:25 p.m. Protective eyewear is necessary for looking at the sun and will be available while supplies last.
Blankets are welcome! Outside food is not permitted but may be purchased at the Canteen.
Admission is free for all!
