  • Battery Park 107 Washington Street Newport, RI, 02840 United States (map)

Let us enjoy some trees, along with the cool breeze off the bay in mid-summer, with a walk at Battery Park and around the historic Point Neighborhood.

“The Point” is one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in the country, home to many interesting trees and shrubs. Living Collections Manager Joe Verstandig will lead the search for interesting and unusual specimens, with an emphasis on planting trees in difficult/tight locations. Summer flowering shrubs will also be discussed. Be prepared to walk for the entirety of the tour. Water is highly recommended.

Meeting Location: Battery Park center

Registration is required and will open on June 21, 2024.
