Insider tips

Rent the on-site shuttle service to navigate the extensive grounds efficiently.

Wear lightweight, breathable clothing and high-SPF sun protection, as shade is limited in several open garden sections.

Bring a portable fan or umbrella for sun protection, as the midday heat can be intense.

What to avoid

Attempting to walk the entire perimeter on foot, as the scale of the gardens leads to rapid exhaustion.

Etiquette

Dress modestly as a sign of respect, ensuring shoulders and knees are covered; avoid touching the plants or stepping off designated paths.
