What You Should Know

There are four and a half (4.5) acres of Botanical Gardens from which you can choose any site you desire for your wedding or event. Prime bloom season is from mid May to mid June depending on weather.

If you have a rental facility supply you with tents, chairs, tables, etc., be sure to arrange for its set up and removal and any insurance as Westcroft Gardens cannot assume any responsibility for any such items on the premises.

There are several convenient parking areas for your guests.  If there is to be a large amount of cars,we have found that a few 'friendly faces' from your guest list to direct cars to parking areas and direct guests to the event site work the best.  Our personnel will give these individuals direction.  We also suggest that on your invitations you note that this will be a garden setting and appropriate shoes should be worn.

We regret that there are no indoor facilities in the event of rain.
