Museum of Natural History docent Bill LaCivita will guide a tour of the Victorian rose garden in Roger Williams Park. Since the 1880s, many varieties of roses from Albertine to White Dorothy Perkins have been grown and bred by the park’s gardeners and landscapers. This is a great way to learn about the magnificent blooms that make the rose garden such a popular place for important events.

Program fee: $3 per person (includes museum admission); free for museum members.

Pets are not permitted. Pre-registration preferred. Call 401.680.7248 or email [email protected] to register.

As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We're excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest. 

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!
