Visiting botanical gardens? Remember these do's and don'ts

Stay on earmarked paths or walkways. Avoid plucking flowers or leaves.

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.)
