The talks are offered at $5.00 to the general public and free to Merryspring members. No pre-registration is required. The talks are held in the Park's open air Hexagon, surrounded by Merryspring's many theme gardens and each talk always features plenty of time for questions and answers. Participants are encouraged to come early for the talk and to stroll through Merryspring gardens or along the trails. Also, feel free to bring a brown bag lunch to enjoy during the talk.
Memberships may be purchased at the talk, or anytime between 9 and 2 Tuesday through Friday at the Merryspring office.
