Garden Rules and Regulations

The Botanical Gardens at Asheville are open to the public, free of charge, from dawn to dusk 365 days a year.  Enjoy the Gardens, but leave them as you found them.

  berries, insects, animals, rocks, etc.

  similar activities, such as Frisbee, 
  kick ball, kite flying, and football.

• Do not climb trees..

• Park and Walk!  Bicycles are prohibited.  
  A bike rack is provided in the parking lot.

• Dogs and other pets are not allowed.

• Wading in the stream is discouraged.

We encourage:
