How to Prepare for Flower Piano

Flower Piano is an outdoor event. During the day be sure to bring hats, sunscreen, and comfortable flat shoes. Water fountains are available, but we recommend you come with your own filled water bottles. 

 

During the evening come prepared with layers; Inner Sunset evenings are generally cool. While primary pathways and performance locations will be lit, flashlights may help the less sure-footed navigate the Garden in the evening.

 

Seating is not provided. Please bring your own blanket and chairs as needed. 

 

Sustainability 

Help the Garden keep Flower Piano sustainable and green. Compost and recycling receptacles are available throughout the Garden. Please be sure to download the app to help us save trees and paper.
