Senior Outings and Seminars

Discover the enchanting Gardens at Ball! Take a guided tour with Susannah Ball through the more than 15 acres of stunning annuals, perennials, and containers with more than 500 varieties. These gardens are typically only open to wholesale customers of Ball Horticultural Company, a world-renowned company specializing in the breeding, production, distribution, and marketing of horticultural products for over 118 years. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or simply appreciate the beauty of nature, this tour is an absolute must-see. Following the 1.5-hour tour and Q&A session, we will enjoy lunch on our own (cash or credit accepted) at their café.

This is a FREE members-only event. Registration is required. Stop by the YMCA Welcome Desk or scan the QR code to register.
