FLOWERS MAKECheck where and how you can take photos
Being allowed into a venue does not mean photography is allowed everywhere. Some areas prohibit photography or restrict tripods and monopods. Check official guidance and signs on site.
Organized photo sessions and commercial photography may have different requirements from ordinary visits. Ask the venue about the conditions that apply to your plans.
Watch your step and share the space
When you focus on a flower through the camera, it’s easy to miss what’s underfoot. Before stopping, check that you’re outside the flower beds and that others can pass behind you.
- Do not break or move flowers or branches for a photo.
- Stay outside fences and restricted areas.
- Share popular photo spots rather than occupying them for a long time.
Try changing your position or camera angle instead of moving plants to arrange the scene. Finding that viewpoint is part of the fun.
Share the date and place with your photo
Flower photos can inspire a day out. Add the date, location and flower name when you know them, so others can understand what they’re seeing. Make it clear when you share an older photo.
Check for faces, vehicle registration plates or other details people may not want shared. Where someone’s permission is needed to photograph or publish an image, ask first.
A single photo cannot establish bloom conditions across an entire venue. When helping others plan a visit, describe accurately what you actually saw.
