At this time, Bartlett Arboretum was open Monday - Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Entry was free but special events required the purchase of tickets. Note: All times and prices quoted anywhere on this website could change. The two RV Gypsies have no control over such things. This website is just the "diary" of Lee and Karen Duquette's travels and adventures, which they hope other people will enjoy.

On this date, There was plenty of parking. There were a lot of hiking trails, but the two RV Gypsies were only interested in the flowers. Although there are 12 gardens, not many flowers were in bloom on this date. However, the two RV Gypsies did find some interesting, unusual flowers. The man in the welcome office was NOT very friendly. It was a super hot day.
