Remember, this is a garden and it is possible you will get dirty. It is outside, so be sure to bring enough water to stay hydrated in the hot sunshine and take precautions to avoid sunburns. If you know of any allergies, such as to red ants or bees, be sure to be extra cautious and let the staff know, if they can be of help.
