Garden staff will not assist with this process. In addition\, parents dropping off or picking up a child are not permitted to stay in the Garden.$18/Girl Scout and $20/Adult Chaperone. \nGarden Member Discounts: NBG Members are required to register all Scout and adult chaperones attending the event.
