Dogs:
Well behaved leashed dogs are welcome in the garden.

Trash:
We ask you to take all your trash away with you.

Children:
There are many wondrous things for children to look at and discover at Blake Garden. We are a public garden and ask parents and children to stay on the paths, no picking of plants, flowers or fruits, no tree and rock climbing. There are several parks nearby with play structures.
There are steep slopes in the garden, some with stairs but baby carriages can be used with caution.

Wheelchair accessibility:
Blake Garden is built in the Kensington hills and therefore there are steep slopes throughout the garden. Parts of the garden can be
accessed by wheelchair. Please call or email Lauri Twitchell, Manager for more information and accessibility.

Materials:
A free, but dated, brochure is available to visitors (download pdf). Plant and bird lists are available for $1.00 donation per copy. Plants and other plant related items from the garden are also available for a small donation.

Trail Map:
A trail map, updated in September 2009, is available on line (download pdf).

Restrooms:
Restrooms are located at the greenhouse.
