Tompkins County, NY Open Day

Sat, Aug 7, 2021

As the pandemic continues to evolve, please observe these new procedures and help us ensure a safe, contactless, and seamless garden experience for all visitors as well as our generous garden hosts:

• Pre-registration is REQUIRED for each garden. Pre-register for each on this website, except where specifically indicated otherwise. Children under 12 are free and do not need to be pre-registered if accompanied by pre-registered adult.
• Capacity is limited. Sorry, no walk-ins allowed; no paper tickets or cash payments will be accepted on-site.
• Masks are required, at the discretion of the garden owners, and social distancing is encouraged at all in-person events.

For more details about these changes for this season, see the 2021 Open Days Q&A.

  Wander down the mulch pathway to the highlight of this garden: a large pond filled with hundreds of lotus plants standing erect above the pond’s surface.

  This is a garden more than twenty years old sloping toward Cayuga Lake. The two-acre property is sheltered by a dense border of conifers, ornamental trees, and flowering bushes.
