Guidelines for the Garden Walk

  • Photography is permitted

  • You may wish to wear sturdy shoes, sunscreen and a hat

  • Pets, strollers & smoking are not allowed in the gardens

  • Access for individuals with limited mobility may be limited at certain gardens, since most gardens have inclines, steps, narrow paths and uneven terrain

We could not offer this Garden Walk without the support of our local businesses & sponsors. We appreciate your patronage.

Please note: The Beach Garden Club has not achieved non-profit status, so your deductions are not tax deductible.
