- "Private" parties (birthday, wedding, etc.) may have no more than 30 people in attendance, so that we can fulfill our GreenThumb mandate of keeping the garden open to the general public at the same time as your event.
- Public events are limited to 60 people at one time, due to the structure of the plots and paths.
- No. more than 4 people can be in the Tree House at a given time.
- No alcohol or smoking of any kind is permitted. These are NY City Parks Dept. rules.
- No open fires are permitted.
- There is no electric power. There is no potable water.
- There are no bathrooms at 6BC.
- No amplified sound per NYC Parks and NYPD rules.
- To promote your event, you can submit a "request to collaborate" on Instagram via @6bcgarden, but we cannot help promote beyond that.
- Your event must be entirely self sufficient. We are unable to help produce, organize, or manage your event. If you are expecting more than 30 attendees, you must provide two volunteers to keep attendees out of flower beds and enforce the no drinking / no smoking policy.
- We will have 1 volunteer on site who can show you where chairs/table are that you’re welcome to use.
- Events must be donation based only. No ticketed events are allowed and could put the garden in jeopardy.
- All trash must be picked up in the garden and carried out by event organizer.
