Enjoying Nestldown

Out of respect for our gardens and facilities, team and the host of your event, please be respectful of the rules and etiquette listed below to avoid unnecessary charges to the host’ security deposit. We are sorry but we do charge when guests or visitors breaks these rules as they affect our property, team and our use permit.

Some rules are by our decision; however, many are requirements of our County Operational Permit. We thank you in advance for respecting these rules, our site, our customers’ investment and our team.

• Very Strict No Drone Policy
• Stay on the walking paths and out of the flower beds.
• Avoid treading on plants or grasses (other than on the Main Lawn and Foxglove Meadow). Specifically, the No mow grass by the train tracks – it is delicate.
• Please do not pick flowers or fruit.
• Do not urinate outside of the Restroom (yes, this happens…)
