Garden Etiquette Review the Garden's: Photography Policy Solicitation Policy The Missouri Botanical Garden is a serene oasis for humans and other creatures in the heart of St. Louis. Please help us protect the natural habitat and maintain the Garden’s beauty for all to enjoy by observing the following: • Supervise children at all times. • Leave flowers and plants for everyone to enjoy. Do not collect or remove seeds, flowers, fruits, vegetables, plant labels, etc. • No climbing, running, sports, or games. • Stay on pathways and mowed lawn areas. Do not walk in garden beds. Do not wade or swim in ponds, streams, or fountains. Visitors will be held liable for any damage to Garden property. • No smoking. We are a smoke-free environment. • No pets. Sight-enabling guide dogs/animals are permitted. • Dispose of trash in recycle bins and trash cans. • Do not feed or handle the wildlife. It can be harmful to them—and you.
