Spooky Pooch

About

In connection with the community trunk or treat event being held in the Garden's parking lot, the Garden is offering a bonus dog day when "spooky pooches" (dogs in costume) can visit the Garden at no charge. Owners in costumes (family-friendly, and nothing with weapons, real or costume) receive a $5 discount off standard admission. Discounts are granted at the ticket window upon arrival. Special thanks to the Spooky Pooch sponsor, The Corner Vet – Bellaire. Dogs not in costume are welcome too, although a $5 dog ticket applies. Members receive complimentary dog admission based on level, whether or not their dog(s) are in costume: individual members receive one dog admission, dual members receive two, and family members and above receive up to four. Responsible pet parents are reminded to leave the Garden as they found it. Dispose of waste and collect bags, water bottles, bowls, and other containers, snacks and treats, etc., before departing. For a complete list of Garden rules and expectations, see the Rules & Etiquette section. Rules: all dogs must be leashed and current on appropriate shots and registrations. Waste must be bagged and placed in trash cans, and waste bags are available in the Welcome Pavilion. Dogs and their companions must stay on marked paths and open lawn areas. Do not allow dogs into horticultural displays. Dogs are not permitted inside the Welcome Pavilion or event tents. Dogs must be socialized and well-behaved. Staff may ask owners of dogs in heat or seen acting aggressively to remove them from the Garden. Owners are responsible for their pet's interaction with guests, especially those with children or without dogs. Other guests should ask before approaching and interacting with your dog(s).
