BASICS

Maps of the 45-acre grounds are available at the information kiosk by the Bartram Barn and in the Museum Shop. Bicycles, pets, smoking, and picnicking are prohibited in the eight-acre c. 1728 botanic garden. Pets are welcome elsewhere on the grounds but must be leashed in accordance with city ordinances.
