The Garden, located at 2431 West Lake Drive, was developed by William and Mary Coker Joslin and comprises more than four rolling, wooded acres, with an extensive variety of rare and native plants.
Owned and managed by the City of Oaks Foundation, the Garden and Joslin House are being transformed into public garden in partnership with Raleigh’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department.
“The decision to hold an Open Garden Day in the fall will let visitors experience something different from our previous spring Open Garden Days," said the Foundation's executive director Chris Heagarty. “As summer turns to fall the Garden still has many beautiful plants and flowers in bloom for visitors to see. Many find the cooler temperatures a relaxing time for a stroll along the garden's trails."
Other fall events are scheduled to take place as part of OAKtoberfest, including Art in the Garden and the very popular OWLoween event.
Out of respect for the neighbors, guests are asked to park on only one side of West Lake Drive.
The City of Oaks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that believes in a great outdoors for a great Raleigh.
