Celebrate the joy of nature!

Professional Photography Policy

We welcome visitors to the Garden and encourage personal photography of the Garden and the beauty of its plants and scenery. We request that photographers do not step into the planting beds as they may be stepping on plants that they do not see, or that are just about to emerge from below the surface.

Professional, for fee photography is also allowed. However, in consideration of the great cost incurred by us in both money and our volunteers' time in maintaining the Garden, we require a $25 per hour professional photography fee, payable in advance to a Garden Attendant. If a Garden Attendant is not available please put your fee in an envelope, write your name and 'photography fee' on the envelope and drop it in the donation box. A decision as to whether a photographer falls into the personal or professional category will be at the absolute discretion of the Garden Attendant.

We receive no governmental or civic funding, and rely solely on grants and donations from individuals and on the generosity of visitors.

Thanks for your support,

The Directors, Staff and Volunteers of Soos Creek Botanical Garden.
