Information for Participants

• If you want to listen to or download the audio descriptions before arriving, click here.
• This event will begin at the Bartram’s Garden Gazebo, a covered, open-air structure adjacent to the Garden’s main driveway.
• For GPS navigation directly to the Gazebo, use address 5305 Harley Avenue; the Gazebo will be on the right-hand side of the driveway as you are facing away from the main entrance at 54th Street and Lindbergh Boulevard. If you have reached the visitor parking loop, you have gone too far!
• Bartram’s Garden is easily accessible by public transit or car. Additional directions are available by clicking here.
• The Gazebo is located in the center of a mostly flat, grassy lawn with a few large trees. There is also a pathway of woodchips stretching from the driveway and reaching almost all the way to the Gazebo; if you follow the woodchip path from the paved drive, when you reach the end of the woodchips, the Gazebo will be slightly to the left.
• During the event, we will travel together from the Gazebo to the locations highlighted in the audio descriptions: the Welcome Center, the Ann Bartram Carr Garden, the Historic Bartram House, and the Common Flower Garden. In addition to the area described above to access the Gazebo, the tour route will include the following conditions:
  • a flat, paved driveway and corresponding sidewalk with some large cracks
  • flat and slightly sloped paved pathways set in straight lines
  • flat, paved pathways that curve between plantings and grassy areas
  • flat and slightly sloped gravel pathways set in straight lines
  • a flat but uneven stone terrace
• This event will take place as part of the Garden’s annual SpringFest celebration, including native plant sales, art activities, and more.
