Please do not walk on the grass. The established pathways of the Gardens form beautiful, educational walks and the views from them display the Gardens as they were meant to be seen. There is a common lawn area by the South-East gate (Spring Garden Road at Summer Street) if you'd like to rest on the grass.

Please do not feed the ducks. It can make them dependent on a human-provided food supply and interfere with their natural migratory patterns in the Fall and Spring. There is abundant natural food available for the ducks in the Gardens in season.

The Gardens are NOT available to be booked for your wedding. We know the Gardens are beautiful and memorable; but due to the impact on the fragile environment, the Public Gardens are not available to be booked for private functions or weddings of any size.

Although no portion of the Garden can be booked for a wedding, you may have your wedding photographs taken in the Gardens, as long as your wedding party respects the lawns and features of the Gardens. You do not need to book these events, but keep in mind the Gardens are a popular place for wedding photos and please respect any other wedding parties you may encounter and share the Gardens fairly.
