Bard Arboretum Walk at Montgomery Place

Monthly Walking Tours

The Landscape and Arboretum Program hosts monthly Bard Arboretum walks. The walks take place from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., always on the third Thursday of each month, March through November. Join us for a leisurely stroll around the campus to explore some of the beautiful trees, shrubs, and perennials that make up our landscape. Horticulture senior staff talks about Bard's unique specimens, seasonal plants, and staff favorites. The walks take place rain or shine and are free.
