Opening Day at Bedrock Gardens

We are so excited to be re-opening the gardens for the 2025 season! Please join us for a fun day of events and exploring.

Members get to introduce a friend to the gardens for free.

Opening week celebrations will focus on the newly launched book by Bedrock's Creator Jill Nooney. Bedrock: The Making of a Public Garden is a love letter to the 30-acre garden that she and her husband Bob spent 40 years creating. Featuring almost 300 color-rich photographs, the book chronicles the transformation of the garden’s private origins into the public garden of today.

10-11AM - Bedrock Gardens Founder Jill Nooney will host a signing of her new book, Bedrock: The Making of a Public Garden.

10:15AM - Our regular Daily Garden Tour.
