Do's and don'ts while visiting botanical gardens. 

Keep these best practices in mind when you visit any botanical gardens across the world:

Do’s

Stay on earmarked paths or walkways.

Wear good walking shoes, as you may have to do a fair bit of walking in large gardens.

Look for designated bins to deposit any trash.

Stay hydrated; carry sun protection.

Carry bug spray and any anti-allergic medication, if you are allergic to pollen, for example.

Don’ts

Avoid plucking flowers or leaves.

Resist feeding birds or other animals in the gardens, unless there are specific spots/programmes organised by garden authorities.

Don’t stray or let children wander off towards water bodies.

Sometimes, gardens block off certain areas for restoration, and there is a reason they put up signage; don’t step into those areas.

(Do’s & Don’ts tells you what to keep in mind and what to steer clear of,
while heading to a particular destination.
