Attention all Wilder Park Conservatory visitors! We've noticed some rather "creative" uses of our beautiful plant beds lately, from impromptu picnics to mud pie making sessions to full on photography sessions. While we love seeing families and friends enjoying our space, we'd like to gently remind everyone that our plants prefer peaceful neighbors, not picnic pals. Here's why:
Plant Trampling: Some of our green friends have been around for decades, and they've earned their space to stretch out their roots. Let's not make them feel like the dance floor at a rock concert.
Mud Puddles: While our plants appreciate a good watering, they're not fans of muddy feet or impromptu soil excavations. Let's keep the dirt where it belongs – in the beds.
Picnics and photos in Paradise: We know our Conservatory is a dreamy spot for a lunch date or photoshoot, but let's leave the sandwiches and snacks for the designated areas outside the Conservatory. Our plants prefer to be admired, not smothered (Photographers - please download our Photography Etiquette).
Remember, we're all here to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of this historical gem. So, next time you visit, please respect our green residents and resist the urge to picnic with the plants!
