When visiting the Peradeniya Botanical Garden, there are certain items and activities that are restricted to preserve the natural environment and ensure the safety of visitors. The following items and actions are generally not allowed inside the garden: 1. Plastic Bags and Containers: To protect the environment, plastic items are discouraged or prohibited. It's recommended to use eco-friendly alternatives. 2. Loudspeakers and Musical Instruments: To maintain the peaceful atmosphere, loud noises or playing musical instruments is not permitted. 3. Sports Equipment: Items like footballs, cricket bats, or frisbees that could damage plants or disturb the tranquility of the garden are not allowed. 4. Pets: Animals, including dogs or any other pets, are typically not allowed to ensure the garden remains safe and clean. 5. Bicycles, Scooters, and Skateboards: For safety and to protect the garden paths, riding inside the garden is prohibited. 6. Drones and Professional Cameras: While photography is allowed, the use of drones or large, professional cameras may require special permission from the garden authorities. 7. Firearms or Weapons: For obvious safety reasons, weapons of any kind are strictly prohibited. 8. Alcohol and Smoking: The consumption of alcohol and smoking are not allowed within the premises to maintain a clean and family-friendly environment. These rules help maintain the garden’s beauty and ensure a peaceful experience for all visitors. It’s always best to check with the garden authorities for any specific restrictions.
If you're planning a proper celebration, you’ll need to get permission from the authorities. However, a simple gathering, like cutting a cake with a few people, shouldn’t be an issue.
Is it allowed to have picnic dates with friends inside the garden? Planning to do one . Is it allowed to carry food inside? Eg : cake , donuts , cupcakes etc
A:
I'm sorry as I really don't know. My guess is that you probably can but that is just my guess.
