• Please respect the sanctity of the site and uphold its serenity as a place of quiet contemplative worship.
• Please help us keep the garden clean and litter-free.
• Please do not smoke on site.
• Please do not eat or drink in the Garden.
• Please do not speak loudly on your mobile phones.
• The use of amplification devices in the Garden Tomb is strictly prohibited unless special permission has been granted by the Garden Tomb management.
• Please do not pick the flowers, pluck the fruit and nuts off the trees, or harm the vegetation in any way.
