- Please remove all personal materials and items brought into the gardens for decoration or structural support.
- Other than plain water, liquids of any kind—especially hot ones—as well as ice should never be dumped into the garden lawns or in the planting beds as grass, flowers and shrubs can take months to recover or may not rejuvenate from the damage such liquids cause.
- No littering; and remember, the gardens are designated as a nonsmoking area.
- The use of any kind of confetti, glitter and synthetic flower petals is not permitted.
