Photographer Rules

These rules keep our collection healthy and the gardens pleasant for every visitor. By purchasing a pass, you agree to follow them and to make sure your clients do too.

Protect the Plants

  • Stay on paths and open lawn. Do not step into planting beds, mulch, or roped and signed areas.

  • No climbing or hanging. Leaning on a strong, sturdy tree is fine. Never lean on young trees or shrubs.

  • Never pick, bend or cut. Do not move plants or plant labels.

  • Nothing attached to plants. No tying, nailing, staking, taping or wiring.

  • Wet ground and closed areas. Respect closures and areas staff ask you to avoid.

Props and Equipment

  • Large props and vehicles need a permit. Arches, furniture, tents, backdrops and motorcycles are allowed with advance permission.

  • Carry, don't drag props and gear.

  • No drones, no generators. No gas-powered equipment or amplified sound. Battery lighting only.

  • ​Stable, careful setup. Keep stands on paved paths or open lawn. No stakes or sandbags in planting areas.

Leave No Trace

  • No confetti, petals, glitter or smoke. No rice, colored powder, smoke bombs, sparklers or balloons.

  • No flames. No candles, lanterns or torches.

  • Pack out everything. Report accidental damage to staff right away.

  • Pets and animals. Please follow our pet rules.

Sessions and Conduct

  • Wear your ID at all times during every paid session.

  • Private, pre-booked sessions only. No open, mini or public-booking sessions.

  • No advertising or solicitation on the grounds.

  • Keep groups small.

  • Share the gardens. Public visitors always have priority.

  • You are responsible for your clients. Staff may end a session if rules are not followed. Serious violations may result in the pass being revoked without refund.

We are always happy to hear from you!
