Member Morning

Member mornings are held at 8 am every second Saturday. This beloved tradition is our way of saying thank you for being part of the Garden family.

Beginning at 8 am, ZBGC members can enjoy the following free of charge:

• Coffee with the Curator: Enjoy a cup of coffee while engaging in a Q&A with our curator. Meet at the Children’s Garden near the back of the parking lot by 9:30 am to be escorted to the greenhouse. You bring the cup, we’ll bring the coffee.
• Morning Wellness Class: Start your day with a rejuvenating flow and a special sound bath experience at 9 am. RSVP here.
• Educational Workshops: Learn and grow with hands-on activities and expert-led sessions.
