Photography During Your Visit

Photography is welcome at Clark Gardens, and visitors are encouraged to capture the plants, wildlife, garden views, and moments that make their visit memorable.

Personal photography is permitted throughout the gardens during regular hours. We simply ask that you be considerate of other visitors and help us protect the gardens. Tripods and other photography equipment should be kept clear of pathways and should not interfere with other guests.
