Garden Tour with Curator Brian Kemble: 45 Years of History and Horticulture

This year marks our Curator, Brian Kemble’s 45th year at the Ruth Bancroft Garden. Join Brian for a special walking tour as he shares his one-of-a-kind perspective on the Garden’s evolution—from its beginnings as Ruth Bancroft’s private collection to its transformation into a celebrated public space. Along the way, hear stories about how the collection has changed over time, learn about some of Brian’s most prized plant hybrids, and enjoy insights only decades of experience can offer.
