Garden Etiquette

Please observe the following rules of Garden Etiquette:

  • Due to the uneven paths and stairways, strollers are not permitted in the garden. For your convenience, we offer stroller parking on the East Terrace.
  • At all times, children must be accompanied by an adult.
  • Keep cell phones in silent mode so all visitors can enjoy our quiet oasis. Please refrain from playing music.
  • The only animals permitted in the garden other than Greenwood’s own collection are certified service animals. 
  • At all times, clothing and shoes must be worn. No sunbathing.
  • Garden photography is permitted so long as it does not interfere with the on-site experience of other visitors, such as blocking pathways and views. The use of drones, tripods, screens, and props is not permitted.
  • Formal posed photography and special occasion photography is not permitted. This includes weddings, engagements, pregnancies, birthdays, proms, graduations, family portraits, and other similar events, whether by professional, semi-pro, or amateur photographers. Greenwood reserves the right to determine what constitutes a formal posed photography session and will curtail sessions that do not fit our guidelines noted above.
  • Food and non-alcoholic beverages may be enjoyed in Adelaide’s only. Personal water bottles are permitted in the garden. Please note: Adelaide’s is an outdoor covered pavilion where you can enjoy the food and beverages you bring with you. Snacks and hot/cold drinks are also available for purchase in the Welcome Center.
  • Do not enter pond or water features, climb or touch statuary, enter areas that are roped off, or obstruct pathways.
  • Refrain from picking flowers or berries, entering or disturbing plant beds and borders, and climbing trees.
  • Refrain from smoking, vaping, making fires, and playing active sports.
  • Bicycles and scooters are not permitted anywhere on the property.
  • For your safety and the safety of the animals in Greenwood’s collection, do not feed, chase, or provoke domestic animals and/or wildlife. Please enjoy the animals from a safe distance.
  • Remove all personal trash when you depart.
