Self-Guided Tours
Self-guided tours are the most common method of enjoying the gardens. Upon your arrival at the Schedel Arboretum and Gardens, check in at the Brown Welcome Center where the Self-Guided Tour booklet is available. The booklet includes a map and checkpoints serving as a guide for one’s leisurely walk through the gardens. Many major areas within the grounds are highlighted with brief explanations. In some cases, important species, specimens or varieties of plants are labeled near the plant itself, as well.
The Self-Guided Tour booklet is merely a guide, however guests are invited to re-trace their steps, take their time, and seek out plants and areas they find interesting that may not be directly noted in the tour booklet itself. Please review and observe the rules of garden etiquette.
