Costs
This is a free event but please bring your wallet to pay for any food, event guides, private-garden tour tickets or other souvenirs you might like to buy while there.

Please be aware
Our eyes may be on the bugs, but the Carnival of Flowers is just as much about the gardens. Please be careful about where you're standing and avoid the temptation to step into the flower beds when chasing a good subject - there are staff overseeing the beds in the public gardens and you will get in trouble if you're caught bushwacking!
