2025 Hosted Collectors & Display Garden Tours

FRBC offers extensive tours through the gardens and greenhouses to meet and examine some of the seriously cool plants in our Collection. At each session there will be all ranges of information on the different plants blooming in the gardens, and in some cases different guest speakers. Bring your questions! We encourage FRBC members to invite non-member guests to join us as a way to spread the word about FRBC with people who love plants.

Each tour generally lasts over an hour and we will be outside, so please be prepared for weather possibilities. We will have beverages and snacks available, and will be on our feet for the majority of the visit.

At each tour, there will be some select plants available for sale. It's also a good time to pick up online orders, but please make sure to order at least a week in advance. Whether you are local to the Olympic Peninsula or may be from outside the area, we hope to see you this season!

To sign up, please check back in mid-March. Our upcoming newsletters will have more specifics. Newsletter sign up button is below.
