In the direction away from the pit I saw, beyond a red-covered wall, a patch of garden ground un- buried.
The gardens feature miles of hiking trails both through the native forest and the manicured garden grounds.
No charge with garden grounds admission: $3; students, those 65 and older, $2; children 2 to 12, $1.
However, the Garden instituted a successful policy to remove them from the garden grounds.
The restaurant also provides free picnic blankets for dining on the garden grounds.
The garden grounds opened to the public in the mid-19th century, at about the same time that its glass houses (1694 m2) were constructed.
The conservatory closes 30 minutes before the garden grounds.
Admission to the garden grounds will be free for ticket holders.

The gazebo on garden grounds is a popular site for weddingsand other events.
