You’re asked to dress for the weather, wear boots appropriate for work in the garden, and wear a hat, sunscreen, and insect repellant. Keep an eye out for ticks, as they have been found in the garden in the past. You may also wish to bring your own chair to take breaks, as seating in the garden is limited.
You can find the MPL Beaty branch at 945 Fourth Line in Milton.
