Wear a face covering. Everyone is required to wear face coverings throughout the Garden grounds.
Stay home if you are sick, symptomatic, or have traveled from certain states.?Please visit another day if you aren’t feeling well or if you have recently traveled from states designated as having significant COVID-19 transmission within the last 14 days. We appreciate you taking care of yourself and protecting others.
Follow social distancing guidelines. Maintain six feet between yourself and others outside of your party while parking and when moving through the Garden.

Follow one-way traffic patterns. Look for signage to help you navigate the Garden.

We reserve the right to request that visitors who do not follow the guidelines leave the premises.
