Additionally, funds will be used to con- tinue to provide ongoing events such as the Pleasant Ridge Speaker Series.

Accessible on mobile devices, the app can be downloaded on the App Store or Google Play. A web version of the app and separate audio tour are also avail- able. Designed to enhance the visitor experience, the Cranbrook House and Gardens app currently has three distinct tours of the gardens: a dynamic tour for general visitors, one for arts and culture enthusiasts who would like to know more about the sculptures and other iconic elements of the gardens, and one for botanical lovers who would like to learn more about the exten- sive plantings. The tours are complete with engaging video, historic and current images, audio and text. The 40-acre Cranbrook Gardens is home to formal, woodland and naturalistic gardens featuring fountains, statuary, lakes, streams and extensive traditional and naturalist plantings. Visitors can take the app with them while enjoying free admission to Cranbrook Gardens now through October 2016, as gardens admission is provided by presenting sponsor PNC Bank and sponsors All Seasons Independent Living and Roberts Restaurant Group. Thanks to the support of the admissions sponsors, the gardens now offer longer hours and can be enjoyed by a larger audience. For more information, visit: housegardens.cranbrook.edu. *
