Where do you park?

The lower parking lot  is also generally open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m in the fall/winter months and 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the spring/summer.  The lower parking lot will also be open for scheduled events.

Admission to the Garden is free, but donations are welcome.

 

A $5 donation per adult visitor is requested. Donations can be made on-site at the kiosk near the lower parking lot, or online.
