A permit is required for professional photography at the Garden. Wedding photography is limited to our rental clients.
Outdoor day-use permits are available for $50 Sunday—Sunday through Friday, as long as they do not interfere with scheduled Garden or private events. Annual passes are available for $300, and are also vaid for use Sunday—Friday. Props are not permitted without prior approval.
If you or your photographer wants to visit the site, request setup permission, or inquire about indoor access, please contact the WVBG staff at 681-332-8868 or email rentals@wvbg.org.

High School Dance Photography Permits
Due to limited parking, access to the Garden is restricted on October 3rd from 2 to 6 p.m. and October 10 from 1 to 5 p.m. There are a limited number of parking permits available, for the upper parking lot only.
Please note that this permit does not provide access to all areas of the Garden. Photos may be taken in the Rain Garden near the Visitors Center. The Yagle Garden, Secret Garden, Shade Garden, and Fairy Garden may also be used, but these areas are accessible only on foot. All other areas will be closed during this time, and we ask that noise be kept to a minimum.
The lower parking areas are reserved exclusively for wedding guests. Vehicle access to these areas will not be permitted.
Thank you for helping us protect the privacy and celebration of the wedding party and their guests. PREREGISTRATION IS REQUIRED, AND SPACES ARE LIMITED.
